Abstract

A crimp blade holder for attachment to a rotatable shaft for removably mounting a plurality of crimp blades includes a body in which first and second cylinder portions are joined together at an end face of each, such that the portions are disposed along a common axis. A hole extends axially through the body, the shaft being insertable through the hole. A plurality of slots are arranged about the periphery of the first portion in a spaced relationship for removably inserting one of the crimp blades into each of the slots. Additional slots are arranged about the periphery of the second portion, in a second, distinct spaced relationship, also for the removable insertion of one of the crimp blades into each of the slots. The crimp blades are secured within either of the groups of slots, and the body is secured to the shaft at a selected one of a plurality of positions along the shaft. A method of using the described blade holder is also disclosed.
