ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A crimping tool comprises a pair of handles, crimping jaws, dies, and/or die nests, positioned at one end of the handles and in alignment with each other to receive a connector therebetween, a linkage extending between the handles and joining same together such that one handle pivots relative to the other and forces the jaws, dies, and/or die nests toward each other. A rotatable die wheel, with dies, of different sizes and shapes, is located at the forward end of one handle, in alignment with the working surface of a crimping jaw secured to the forward end of a second handle. The die wheel has a plurality of passages extending transversely therethrough. A chamber is formed in one of the handles, and a ball is placed therein. A strap, formed of spring steel, is secured to one of the handles and exerts a biasing force upon the ball. When the die wheel is indexed to place a particular die in operative positions the strap forces the ball to project into one of the passageways, thereby functioning as a detent to retain the die wheel in its indexed position.
