Claim Text:
1. A crimping head for use with an impact wrench to crimp fittings onto a structure carrying the fitting, comprising: (a) a universal adaptor having a bifurcated head, and a diametrically adjustable socket positioned in the bifurcated head being sized and shaped to receive multiple sized impact wrench anvils without further connection between the impact wrench and the crimping head; (b) a locking assembly positioned in the bifurcated head adapted to concurrently adjust an outer diameter of the bifurcated head and a diameter of the adjustable socket for locking various sized impact wrench anvils into the adjustable socket by advancing a fastener through the bifurcated head: (c) a transmission attached to the universal adaptor for being driven by the universal adaptor and for converting rotational movement of the anvil into selective rearward and forward movement; and (d) a jaw assembly attached to the transmission and adapted to close into a crimping position and open into a release position responsive to the rearward and forward movement of the transmission.
