A crimper system (300) having a slide frame with a base (310) and a movable head (320) slidably mounted on the slide frame, with a crimp zone (126) opening defined between the base and head includes a dual compound leverage mechanism having two tension arms (332, 330) with lower ends pivotably attached to the base; two compression arms with lower ends pivotably attached to the movable head; and the upper end of each tension arm pivotably attached to the upper end of a corresponding one of the compression arms (334,336) forming two elbow joints defining acute angles between each tension arm and its corresponding compression arm; a screw drive mechanism (350); and a stepped crimp- setting mechanism. Also provided is a tool, system and method for quick, easy removal, installation and storage of multiple - die, crimper die sets. The system includes a set of interconnected dies. The tool engages the connectors for pulling the die set out of a crimper. |
