Crimping tool

A tool for crimping a ring member on a pipe, the tool comprising:

• a first arm rotatable between a first position and a second position about a first pivot, the first arm including:
• a first side and a second side;
• the first side having a semi-circular first die slot, an adjacent semi-circular second die slot, the first side further having a first gage slot, the first gage slot defining an upper tolerance limit for a first ring crimped in the first semi-circular slot;
• the second side having a semi-circular third die slot, the distance from the first pivot to the third die slot being larger than the distance from the first pivot to the first die slot, the second side further having a second gage slot, the second gage slot defining an upper tolerance limit for a second ring crimped in the third semi-circular slot;
• and
• a third gage slot being arranged on a first end opposite the first pivot, the third gage slot defining an upper tolerance limit for a third ring crimped in the second semi-circular slot;
• a second arm operably coupled to the first arm and rotatable about a second pivot, the second arm including:
• a third side and an opposing fourth side;
• the third side having a semi-circular fourth die slot, the first die slot and fourth die slot configured to crimp the first ring in the first position;
• the third side having semi-circular fifth die slot, the second die slot and the fifth die slot configured to crimp the second ring in the first position, the second ring having a smaller diameter than the first ring, the third side further having a fourth gage slot configured to define a lower tolerance limit for the first ring;
• the fourth side having a semi-circular sixth die slot, the third die slot and the sixth die slot configured to crimp the third ring in the second position, the fourth side further having a fifth gage slot configured to define a lower tolerance limit for the second ring;
• and
• a six gage slot being arranged on a second end opposite the second pivot, the six gage slot being configured to define a lower tolerance limit for the second ring.
