Abstract
An electrical connector crimping tool has a head with a stationary anvil and a movable ram. The anvil has two angled contact surfaces for contacting a connector. The ram has a front with a pyramid and angled side portions. The pyramid is suitably sized and shaped such that the angled side portions of the ram can contact the anvil angled contact surfaces to stop forward advancement of the ram without the pyramid contacting the anvil.
