    Crimping Slot

    The ratchet in these crimpers applies the right amount of pressure to ensure a complete crimp in wire ferrules every time.
    Fixed Crimping Slot—Crimpers with a fixed crimping slot have separate slots for each wire gauge.
    Self-Adjusting Crimping Slot—Crimpers with a self-adjusting crimping slot automatically adjust to the proper crimp size for each wire gauge.

    The ratchet applies the correct pressure to ensure a complete crimp every time. The dies are built into the rotating head.
    Color-Coded Die—Crimpers with color-coded dies are colored to show you which die to use when attaching connectors to electrical wire.
    Reference Chart—Crimpers with a reference chart also work with 8- to 4/0-gauge battery terminals and heavy duty power lugs (you must use comparable battery terminal settings). Their reference chart shows you which die to use when attaching connectors to wire.

    Tools with a plier nose are useful for pulling and looping wire.
    Tools with a voltage detector safely test for AC voltage without contacting live wires. Light and sound indicators alert you when over 50 volts AC is detected. The detector is attached to the tool’s handle; remove it from the handle to use it on its own.

    Unlike ratchet crimpers that require repetitive motion, these battery-operated crimpers quickly create crimps with a press of the trigger. Release the trigger and their jaws automatically open for the next crimp. Use them to take on your high-volume crimping tasks. You can also press the trigger part-way down to adjust your connector to the ideal position before making the complete crimp. An LED light illuminates workspaces, so you can accurately position connectors with the required dies (sold separately). Keep multiple dies on hand for the flexibility to crimp a wide range of butt-splice connectors and ring and spade terminals.

    Angled Handle

    Make quick, consistent crimps from connector to connector with these battery-powered crimpers. They are faster and require less effort than ratcheting crimpers—just press the trigger to crimp. Switch out the dies to make crimps on a wide range of connector sizes. A pressure sensor monitors the force of each crimp and alerts you if the pressure is too low to make a complete connection. Connect these tools to a mobile app using Bluetooth to change settings and view usage data. You can also view the pressure level, battery life, and other diagnostics on the display. The head rotates 350°, so you can position these tools to crimp at difficult angles. An LED light on the front illuminates your workspace.
    Pair them with a crimping die (sold separately) that matches the size and type of your connector. Insert the cable into the connector, line up the connector with the crimping die, and press the trigger to crimp. Jaws open automatically when you release the trigger. These crimpers create UL-certified connections when paired with connectors from Anderson, Blackburn, Burndy, Ilsco, Panduit, Penn-Union, and Thomas & Betts (T & B).
    Straight Handle—Crimpers with a straight handle are thinner than crimpers with an angled head, so they fit into tighter spaces.
    Angled Handle—Crimpers with an angled handle are more comfortable to hold when crimping parallel to a table or workbench. They have a higher compression force for crimping larger gauges of wire.
    Cannot Be Sold Outside United States—Replacement batteries and chargers cannot be sold outside the United States due to product regulations.

    Crimping

    Save time and energy crimping across different connector sizes in high-volume applications—these battery-powered tools crimp without you having to change out any dies. Instead, they automatically adjust to the size of your connector. They’re faster than ratchet crimpers and because they activate with the press of a trigger, there’s less repetitive motion. A built-in pressure sensor monitors the force of each crimp to make sure the connection is complete every time. If the pressure is too low, you’ll hear a beep and see an LED flash. Connect these crimpers to your mobile device using Bluetooth to change settings and view usage data from an app. You can also check the pressure level, battery level, and other diagnostics from the LCD display on the crimper. The head rotates 350°, so you can maneuver these tools to crimp at difficult angles. An LED light on the front illuminates your workspace.
    These crimpers create UL-certified connections when paired with connectors from Anderson, Blackburn, Burndy, Ilsco, Panduit, Penn-Union, or Thomas Betts (T&B).
    Straight Handle—Crimpers with a straight handle have a thin profile, so they fit in tight spaces.
    One-Point-Indent Crimping—Crimpers with one-point indent form a consistent crimp that resembles a half-moon.
    Cannot Be Sold Outside United States—Replacement batteries and chargers cannot be sold outside the United States due to product regulations.
