Name this tool

I surmise that it is a cable crimper but I only find references to bolt cutters. I suppose there are interchangeable heads but I've never seen one in person.

Crimper!

It's a cordless, 18V, autofister!

It needs to be charged and it needs lubrication.

Electric Cable Terminal Crimper...

Greenlee Gator

The EK425L is operated with one hand, leaving the other hand free to position the cable and connector. The crimping jaws open wide to fit easily over connectors. To help prepare for a crimp, the jaws can be jogged closed until they just grip the connector, allowing the operator to position the cable in the connector before finishing the crimp. The EK425L will complete about 325 crimps per battery charge on 4/0 AWG splices. When a crimp is fully completed, the EK425L signals the operator by automatically opening the jaws. It is then ready to make the next crimp. And, when the crimping jaws need to be opened before a crimp is complete, the operator can simply push a button on the back side of the tool.

Definitely a crimper .. Con Ed and other electric companies use it or a hydraulic version to crimp the underground feeder cables together or to connect them to the transformers.

It has two batteries and no charger. Wanna buy it?

 

[Scarpozzi]

I've seen a lot of plumbers use these that have wrists too limp to use regular crimpers.

I'm pretty sure Greenlee doesn't make plumbing tools, but it probably would work for PEX.
