A crimp on flange tool of the type used to crimp door seals to vehicle door frames, comprising a handheld tool connected by a flexible drive coupling to a remote, separate drive unit whose weight is not added to the weight of the handheld tool when used by a human operator. The invention further includes a novel operator handle arrangement for the handheld tool, in which a handle is on-axis with the crimping rollers. Another aspect of the invention is a novel roller arrangement comprising two sets of parallel rollers, with a first set being spaced more widely to function as guide rollers and a second, downstream set being spaced more narrowly to crimp a seal fed to them by the guide rollers.
