Abstract
A setting tool includes: a body with at least a drive shaft connected to a pull rod designed to be screwed onto the crimp part, to drive the pull rod in rotation along an axis; a draw sleeve fixed to the body and connected to the pull rod, to translate the pull rod along the axis; and a placing nose, to house the pull rod rear end, the drive shaft front end, and the draw sleeve. The draw sleeve front end includes a cavity opening onto a first through hole on the side wall, and a second hole on the drive shaft axis of rotation, the through holes allow the pull rod front end to pass through the holes, to allow the pull rod rear end to pass through the first through hole, and to enable the pull rod to be placed along the drive shaft axis of rotation.

A setting tool for a crimp part, the setting tool comprising:
- a body,
- a drive shaft,
- a pull rod,
- a draw sleeve, and
- a placing nose, wherein
- the drive shaft is connected to the pull rod and the pull rod is designed to be screwed onto the crimp part, the pull rod comprising a front end and a rear end, the rear end of the pull rod having a larger cross-section than the front end of the pull rod,
- a front end of the drive shaft connects the rear end of the pull rod, a rotation of the drive shaft about an axis causes rotation of the pull rod about the axis,
- the draw sleeve comprises a rear end fixed to the body and is connected to the pull rod,
- the draw sleeve being connected to the rear end of the pull rod, a translation of the draw sleeve along the axis causes translation of the pull rod along the axis,
- the placing nose comprises a rear end fixed to the body and an opposite front end, the placing nose defining an inner open chamber opening out at both the front end and the rear end, the chamber being configured to house the rear end of the pull rod, the front end of the drive shaft, and the draw sleeve,
- the draw sleeve comprises a cavity housing the rear end of the pull rod, the cavity opening onto a first through hole defined on a side wall of the draw sleeve, and a second through hole on the axis, the pull rod being removable with respect to the draw sleeve via the first through hole, the front end of the pull rod passing through the second through hole and the pull rod being arranged rotated around the axis of rotation of the drive shaft.
