Claim 12:
13. A crimping pliers die for crimping a workpiece, the crimping pliers die comprising
a) two die half units with die halves,
aa) the die halves having a degree of freedom for a movement relative to each other along a crimping axis over a crimping stroke,
ab) the die half units each comprising a rotational bearing element defining an axis of rotation for a rotation of the die halves, the first axis of rotation having an orientation coaxial or parallel to the crimping axis,
ac) the die half units each comprising a holding body and
ad) the die half units are supported for being rotated about the axis of rotation by rotational bearings on the holding body,

b) a die accommodation defining an accommodation axis, the die accommodation being defined by the die halves and accommodating the workpiece,
c) a stop body,
d) a stop body rotational bearing which supports the stop body on a first one of the die halves for being rotated about a stop body rotational axis, the stop body rotational axis having an orientation coaxial or parallel to the die accommodation,
e) the stop body comprising at least two insertion stops being arranged with a distance from each other along the circumference of the stop body rotational axis
f) the stop body having a first rotational degree of freedom and a second rotational degrees of freedom,
fa) the first rotational degree of freedom being provided by the rotational bearing element and being a rotation of the stop body together with the die halves about the axis of rotation and
fb) the second rotational degree of freedom being provided by the stop body rotational bearing and being a rotation of the stop body relative to the first one of the die halves about the stop body rotational axis

g) a latching device or locking device interposed between the holding body and the die half, the latching device or locking device latching or locking the die half at predefined relative rotational angles between the holding body and the die half about the axis of rotation,
h) wherein the holding body and the die half comprise holding body guiding surfaces,
ha) the holding body guiding surfaces having an orientation vertical to the axis of rotation and
hb) the holding body and the die half being guided by the holding body guiding surfaces relatively to each other during the rotation about the axis of rotation,

i) wherein one of the holding body guiding surfaces comprises a recess in which a latching element or locking element being biased by a spring is arranged and
j) wherein the other one of the holding body guiding surfaces comprises latching recesses or locking recesses wherein the latching element or locking element is arranged in the predefined relative rotational angles for providing the latching or locking effect.
