• a die half having a die half contour that interacts with the workpiece during the crimping process;
• and
• a die half bearing comprising a bearing body positionable about and between a securing orientation and an insertion orientation that is at an acute angle relative to the securing orientation,
• wherein the bearing body comprises:
• a bearing cross-section that has a securing extension in a direction transverse to the securing orientation and an insertion extension transverse to the insertion orientation, the securing extension being larger than the insertion extension;
• and
• a locking element defining a latching or locking recess,
• wherein the bearing body is selectively, detachably connectable to the bearing accommodation both by the bearing cross-section and by engagement of the latching or locking recess of the locking element to the counter-holding element.
