Abstract
Tools for crimping or cutting of an object such as a wire, cable, or connector. The tool includes a first member and a second member configured to come together through a gap to crimp or cut a wire, cable or connector and a laser positioned to visually indicate a region where at least one member traverses as the first and second member come together through the gap. This visual indication aids in alignment of the object for the crimping or cutting operation.

- and
- a light source positioned along the track to guide in aligning the object between the first and second members by generating light at a position that visually indicates a region where the first feature and the second feature will operate on the object as the at least one member moves toward the other member.
