FAQ:
How easy are they to use?

Although this kit may look intimidating at first glance, it’s fairly simple to use. During application prepare the cable and slide on the connector, select and insert the required die, insert the cable and connector. Holding the cable in position with one hand, prime the handle until the crimp tool starts to bite, once you feel resistance you can use both hands to increase the pressure and complete the union.

How do you maintain the product?

• Movable parts should be regularly lubricated.
• Lubrication* is recommended at least every 10,000 cycles whenever the tool is exposed to contaminants.

The Importance of a High-Quality Crimp

When a crimping tool is used on a terminal, two crimps take place at the same time. One is the electrical connection between the conductor and 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 without any voids between the wire strands and the terminal. If there any voids present, then corrosion can occur causing resistance and excessive heat which damages the electrical connection. Using a good quality crimping tool will ensure that a full, gas-tight crimp is produced preventing future deterioration of the electrical connection and insulation breakage.
