A crimping method including the steps of: holding a workpiece comprised of a main body disposed around an outer circumference of a tubular shell in a first die; placing a second die for wrap crimping at a position facing the first die across the workpiece and moving the second die towards the first die to press the rim of the shell and plastically deform the rim to form a wrap crimped part; and bringing hot crimping-use electrodes arranged at sides of the shell, in a state holding the workpiece between the first die and the second die, into contact with side surfaces of the shell to apply current between the electrodes and the first die and make a thin-walled part to generate heat by resistance heating to thereby form a hot crimped part.
