A crimping tool comprises a frame (14) holding first and second crimping dies (42, 44) within a crimping zone (61), and the first crimping die (42, 44) is movable during a crimping operation. The frame (14) has a first arm (64) and a second arm (66) and defines an opening (60) between the first and second arms, the opening (60) providing access to the crimping zone (61). A swinging arm (62) has a pivot end (70) pivotably coupled to the first arm (64) of the frame (14), and also has a distal end (72) opposite to the pivot end (70). In addition, the swinging arm (62) has a latching element (86) configured to engage a frame latching element (88) of the second arm (66). The swinging arm (62) is movable between an open position and a closed position, the distal end (72) engaging the second arm (66) of the frame (14) when in the closed position to close the opening (60). The second arm (66) is movable away from the first arm (64) during the crimping operation from an unseated position to a seated position, the frame latching element (88) engaging the latching element (86) when in the seated position to limit further movement of the second arm (66) away from the first arm (64). |
