(54) Tab lifting tool


(57) An implement for lifting and crimping tabs (18) bent over a flange (33) consisting of a casing (22) having an elongated tool channel (26) therein communicating with two openings at either end of the tool channel (26). An elongated tool member (28) is slidably mounted in the tool channel (26) and has a tab lifting finger (29) proximate a tab lifting end (27) of the casing (22) and a tab crimping end (27) at an opposite end of the casing (22). A trigger (30) is pivotally mounted in the casing (22) and has a contact surface (44) which contacts the tool member (28). A spring (42) is provided for biasing the tool member (28) in a direction so that its tab lifting finger (29) is urged away from the casing (22).
