Single compression multiple impression crimp tool

A crimp tool comprising:

• a metal housing;
• a hydraulic cylinder within the metal housing, the hydraulic cylinder including a piston configured to extend from the hydraulic cylinder;
• a first die holder within the metal housing, the first die holder comprising a plurality of first alignment bolt holes and at least one first spring hole positioned between a pair of first alignment bolt holes from the plurality of first alignment bolt holes, wherein the first spring hole in its entirety is non-overlapping with the plurality of first alignment bolt holes;
• a second die holder under the first die holder within the metal housing, the second die holder comprising a plurality of second alignment bolt holes and at least one second spring hole positioned between a pair of second alignment bolt holes from the plurality of second alignment bolt holes, wherein the second spring hole in its entirety is non-overlapping with the plurality of second alignment bolt holes, wherein each of the plurality of second alignment bolt holes is aligned with a corresponding one of the plurality of first alignment bolt holes, and the second spring hole is aligned with the first spring hole, wherein the first die holder is configured to move towards the second die holder responsive to the piston extending from the hydraulic cylinder;
• a plurality of alignment bolts, each alignment bolt through a corresponding one of the plurality of first alignment bolt holes and a corresponding one of the plurality of second alignment bolt holes that is aligned with the corresponding one of the plurality of first alignment bolt holes;
• a first spring having a first end and a second end, the first end positioned in the first spring hole in the first die holder, and the second end positioned in the second spring hole in the second die holder;
• and
• a first die positioned within the first die holder and a second die positioned within the second die holder, the first die and the second die each including a plurality of impression teeth, wherein the plurality of impression teeth of the first die are aligned with the plurality of impression teeth of the second die;
• wherein a metal connector is positioned between the plurality of impression teeth of the first die and the second die;
• and
• wherein a plurality of impressions are formed around the metal connector responsive to the hydraulic cylinder pressing the piston against the first die holder causing the first die holder to move towards the second die holder such that the first die and the second die are clamped around the metal connector.
