The straight action crimper facilitates the use of various crimping dies and connects to the tool holder assembly of the pneumatic tool to provide the necessary straight line motion of the crimping dies when the pneumatic tool is actuated. When actuated, a cam extends through the tool holder into the crimper, contacting an internal spring-loaded die holder mechanism. The other end of this mechanism is directly connected to the movable die and, as the cam pushes against the mechanism, the movable die moves in a straight line and bottoms against the stationary die. When the cam of the pneumatic tool retracts, the force is removed from the movable die and the spring--loaded mechanism returns to its starting position.
