Spring Crimp Tool
I was given this neat little tool for crimping the inner part of a mainspring. I will have to give it a try on my next spring repair. There are no maker's marks anywhere on it. The search is on for other similar tools for different size arbors.

Re: Spring Crimp Tool
Hi Ken- I saw one of these years ago in another collector's tool box. I wish I could have gotten it. He was primarily an "Edison man".. in fact he worked at the Edison Site in Florida, but I couldn't tell you if it is an Edison tool, Victor or generic.
Definitely nice to have.

Re: Spring Crimp Tool
wonder if these modern concave pliers would do the same thing as far as curling the end of a spring??

Re: Spring Crimp Tool
They look a bit thick on the outside, I would grind off the corners at least.
