Crimping tool

A crimping tool (1) for axially fastening a cable braid (3) of a cable (2) between a crimp sleeve (4) arranged on the cable (2) and a support sleeve (5) by crimping, comprising:

• a. a first pressing jaw (6) having a first through-opening (8) extending entirely through the first pressing jaw (6) in an axial direction (x) for receiving the cable (2) during crimping;
• and
• b. a second pressing jaw (7) with a second through-opening (9) extending entirely through the second pressing jaw (7) and arranged in the axial direction, which is arranged coaxially with the first through-opening (8) and serves to receive the cable (2) during crimping;
• wherein
• c. the first and second pressing jaws (6, 7) are displaceable relative to each other along the axial direction;
• d. the first pressing jaw (6) has a support surface (10) for supporting the crimp sleeve in the axial direction;
• and
• e. the second pressing jaw (7) includes a funnel-shaped forming surface (11) arranged around the second through-opening (9) for crimping the crimp sleeve (4) with respect to the support sleeve (5).
