Production of press-fit and crimp connections in a vice

A system for establishing a mechanical connection between a strand element and a connection element, the system comprising:

• a pair of receiving elements, where each receiving element has a front side with a recess suitable for receiving the connecting element and a hollow section,
• a pair of press inserts (300),
• where each press insert has an font side with a recess extending over the entire narrow face of the end face, and
• wherein the press insert is designed to be arranged in the hollow section and, if the press insert is arranged in the hollow section, the recess of the press insert is substantially aligned with the recess of the receiving element,
• wherein the receiving elements and the press inserts are arranged in a vice,
• so that the system
• the strand element with the connection element, which is arranged at a first end of the strand element, and
• the pair of press inserts is arranged around a central region of the connection element.
