This invention is directed to a novel pipe ring crimping tool which is adapted for crimping a ring over plastic plumbing pipe onto a plastic fitting. A crimping tool which comprises: (a) a first jaw component constructed to have therein a concave semi-cylindrical opening on one side, and at a first end, an elongated protrusion adapted for receiving an arm, and at the second end, part of a hinge member; (b) a second jaw component constructed to have therein a concave semi-cylindrical opening on one side, and at a first end, an elongated protrusion adapted for receiving an arm, and at the second end, part of a hinge member; (c) a connecting link member adapted to connect together in a pivotal manner the second end of the first component removed from the protrusion and the second end of the second component removed from the protrusion; (d) an elongated bar adapted to removably fit over the protrusion of the first component; and (e) a second elongated bar adapted to removably fit over the end of the protrusion of the second component.
