A high pressure tool assembly includes a hand control valve mechanically connectable to a tool. An intensifier is fluidly connected to the hand control valve and to the tool. The intensifier increases pressure of an operating fluid to be supplied to the tool. A first fluid circuit conveying the first operating fluid is formed between the intensifier and the tool. A second fluid circuit conveying a second operating fluid is formed between the hand control valve and the intensifier. The first fluid circuit operates at a first pressure. The second fluid circuit operates at a second pressure. The first pressure is higher than the second pressure. The first fluid circuit is isolated from the second fluid circuit.

1. A high pressure tool assembly, comprising: a tool;a hand control valve mechanically connectable to the tool;a first operating fluid to be supplied to the tool;an intensifier fluidly connected to said hand control valve and to the tool, said intensifier increasing a pressure of the first operating fluid to be supplied to the tool;a second operating fluid to be supplied to said intensifier;a first fluid circuit formed between said intensifier and the tool, said first fluid circuit conveying the first operating fluid at a first pressure; anda second fluid circuit formed between said hand control valve and said intensifier, said second fluid circuit conveying the second operating fluid at a second pressure, said first pressure being higher than said second pressure, and said first fluid circuit being isolated from said second fluid circuit. 2. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 1, wherein said hand control valve is removably connectable to the tool. 3. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 1, wherein said hand control valve further comprises a handle, wherein said handle of said hand control valve is disposed proximal the center of gravity of the tool to facilitate handling the tool with said handle of said hand control valve. 4. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 1, wherein said hand control valve moves between a first position in which said intensifier moves to a crimping position and a second position in which said intensifier returns to a home position. 5. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 4, wherein said hand control valve further comprises a valve member, wherein said valve member in said hand control valve is moved between first and second positions to move said hand control valve between said first and second positions. 6. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 5, further comprising a spring member, wherein said spring member biases said hand control valve to said second position. 7. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 6, further comprising an activating trigger, wherein said activating trigger is connected to said valve member to move said valve member from said second position to said first position. 8. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 7, further comprising a first opening in said intensifier, wherein the second operating fluid is directed to said first opening in said intensifier when said hand control valve is in said second position to move a piston assembly in said intensifier to said home position. 9. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 8, wherein the second operating fluid is directed to said first opening in said intensifier when said hand control valve is in said first position to move said piston assembly in said intensifier to said crimping position. 10. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 1, further comprising a pressure relief valve, wherein said pressure relief valve in said intensifier opens at a predetermined pressure to stop the supply of the first operating fluid to the tool. 11. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 10, wherein said pressure relief valve opens at approximately 10,000 psi. 12. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 1, wherein an audible or tactile indication is generated by said intensifier when the supply of the first operating fluid to the tool is stopped. 13. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 1, further comprising: a first cylinder and a second cylinder;wherein said intensifier has said first cylinder in fluid communication with said first fluid circuit and said second cylinder in fluid communication with said second fluid circuit. 14. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 13, further comprising an intensifier reservoir, wherein said intensifier reservoir supplies the first operating fluid to said first cylinder. 15. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 14, further comprising a check valve, wherein said check valve controls the supply of the first operating fluid from said intensifier reservoir to said first cylinder. 16. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 14, further comprising a pressure relief valve, wherein said pressure relief valve opens to direct the first operating fluid from said first cylinder to said intensifier reservoir when a predetermined operating pressure is reached. 17. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 14, wherein the second operating fluid is supplied to said second cylinder in response to operation of said hand control valve. 18. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 17, further comprising a piston assembly having a first side having a first inlet, said piston assembly having a home position, wherein the second operating fluid is supplied to said first inlet on said first side of said piston assembly in said second cylinder to move said piston assembly to said home position. 19. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 18, wherein said piston assembly further comprises a second side having a second inlet, said piston assembly having a crimping position, wherein the second operating fluid is supplied to said second inlet on said second side of said piston assembly in said second cylinder to move said piston assembly to said crimping position. 20. The high pressure tool assembly according to claim 1, wherein said intensifier is remote from said hand control valve.
