1. A tool for producing an arrangement composed of an electrical line and a contact device with a crimp sleeve, comprising:
a first press jaw unit delimiting, at an inside, a tool receptacle that extends along a straight line and receives the crimp sleeve and the electrical line, the first press jaw unit has a first press jaw with a first press surface arranged on a side facing towards the tool receptacle, a second press jaw with a second press surface arranged on a side facing towards the tool receptacle, and a first setting device mechanically connecting the first press jaw to the second press jaw, the first press surface is offset with respect to the second press surface in an axial direction with respect to the straight line, the second press surface is adjustable by the first setting device between a first press position positioned radially inwardly and a second press position radially to an outside in relation to the first press position; and
a guide unit providing a first pressing force with a first proportion transmitted via the first press jaw into the first press surface, the first setting device transmits a second proportion of the first pressing force from the first press jaw to the second press jaw, the first press surface stamps a first stamped indentation and the second press surface stamps a second stamped indentation into the crimp sleeve to crimp the crimp sleeve on the electrical line.
