Typical Applications Maintenance and Repair Electrical Installation Cable Assemblies Frequently Asked Questions: What terminals can I use with this tool? This hand crimping tool is used to crimp DuraSeal splices on 22 and 10 AWG wire. What type of crimp does it produce? This tool produces open barrel style crimps. How easy is it to use? This crimping tool is very easy to use for either left or right handed users, requiring no extensive training. How do I maintain my product? Moving parts should be lubricated regularly. If the tool is exposed to dirt, we recommend lubricating it at least every 10,000 cycles. The Importance of a Quality Crimp When using a crimping tool on a terminal, two crimps are made simultaneously. One is the electrical connection between the conductor and the terminal. The other is the insulation crimp, which provides strain relief against vibration and tension. It is important that the electrical connection is gas-tight, with no air gaps between the wire strands and the terminal. Air gaps can cause corrosion, which can lead to resistance and heating, damaging the electrical connection. Using a good quality crimping tool will help you achieve a completely gas-tight crimp and prevent future degradation of the electrical connection and insulation.
