Apparatus actuated by a rotational drive for crimping a fitting are disclose d. In one embodiment, the apparatus (400, 410, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 800, 85 0) includes a crimp ring having at least two crimp ring segments pivotably coupled together for crimping the fitting. A first member, such as a trunnio n or coupling arm, engages a first of the segments, and a second such member engages a second of the segments. A screw is coupled to the drive and is coupled to the members such that at least one of the members is movable alon g the screw when rotated. In one embodiment, the rotational drive couples to t he screw by a transfer mechanism for transferring and controlling rotational movement from the rotational drive to the screw. The transfer mechanism can include a plurality of gears or can include a universal joint. The rotationa l drive can be a drill or can be a socket and a ratchet.
