This manual crimping tool from RS PRO is made from high-quality hardened steel alloy, making it durable, reliable, and easy to use. The tool consists of two ergonomic, non-slip handles for comfortable use, a ratchet mechanism, and a die assembly. The tool is pre-loaded to create a square crimp. Ratchet Mechanism. The ratchet is preset to a certain force and remains locked until the handles are fully closed and the dies bottom out. The handles cannot be opened until the crimping cycle is complete, preventing partial crimps. Once the crimping cycle is complete, the handles reopen. The ratchet ensures consistent, high-quality crimps are produced repeatedly. This manual crimping tool features a ratcheting release trigger. In the event of a jam or mis-crimp, pressing the trigger will release the tool handles. Adjustable Crimp Force. This manual crimping tool features a cam used to adjust the crimp force.

When using a crimping tool on terminals, two crimps are made simultaneously: one is the electrical connection between the conductor and the terminal, and the other is the insulation crimp, which provides strain relief against vibration and tension. It is important to ensure an airtight electrical connection, with no air gaps between the wire strands and the terminal. Air gaps can cause corrosion, resulting in resistance and overheating, which can damage the electrical connection. Using a good quality crimping tool will ensure a completely airtight crimp and prevent future deterioration of the electrical connection and insulation.
