The ratcheting system locks the jaws in place once the crimping cycle begins and prevents the tool from reopening until the full stroke is completed. This eliminates human error, such as releasing the tool too early.
Thanks to interchangeable dies, the tool supports a wide range of wire gauges, typically ranging from 0.5 to 6mm² (AWG 24–10).
Many models feature an auto-release function that automatically unlocks the jaws once the crimp is complete, often accompanied by an audible or tactile "click" feedback.
The jaws are constructed from high-quality chrome-vanadium steel or tungsten carbide, achieving a hardness rating of HRC 60+ for long-lasting wear resistance.
Yes, the handles feature dual-material grips that provide insulation rated for up to 1000V, complying with strict IEC 60900 safety standards.
