Power crimping tool

A tool for crimping a first workpiece to a second workpiece positioned beneath said first workpiece, said tool comprising:

• a body having first and second contact surfaces engageable with said first workpiece, said contact surfaces being oriented at a right angle to one another;
• a first jaw pivotally mounted on said body adjacent to said first contact surface;
• a first tooth mounted on said first jaw, said first tooth being movable in a direction facing outwardly from said first contact surface upon pivoting of said first jaw;
• a second jaw pivotally mounted on said body adjacent to said second contact surface;
• a second tooth mounted on said second jaw, said second tooth being movable in a direction facing outwardly from said second contact surface upon pivoting of said second jaw;
• an actuator having a movable ram positioned proximate to said body;
• a head movably mounted on said body, said head being engaged with said ram, said ram effecting motion of said head;
• a first link having a first end pivotally attached to said head and a second end pivotally attached to said first jaw;
• a second link having a first end pivotally attached to said head and a second end pivotally attached to said second jaw;
• and
• said crimping being effected by said ram moving said head, said links causing pivoting of said jaws, said teeth being thereby forced into said first and second workpieces to crimp said workpieces together.
