Features

• RS Pro Ratchet Type Crimping Tool
• This RS Pro ratchet type crimping tool is designed to be used in conjunction with an insulating terminal. This useful tool allows plier operations for stripping and cutting wires, and has well-defined color marks to help you identify areas to select. Corresponds to the 22 to 10 AWG wire size range, has a ratchet built into the design, and is preset to release when 35 to 45 lb is applied 1 2/4 inch from the end of the handle.

• Typical use Maintenance and repair Electrical equipment Cable assembly Frequently asked questions: Which terminal can this tool be used for? This manual crimping tool is used to crimp DuraSeal splices to 22 to 10 AWG wire.　What crimp will be generated? This tool can be crimped open barrel style.　Is it easy to use? This crimping tool is very easy to use with any dominant hand and requires no serious training.　How do you maintain the product? Moving parts should be lubricated regularly.　If the tool is exposed to dirt, it is recommended to provide lubricant * at least every 10,000 cycles.　Importance of high-quality crimping When a crimping tool is used for a terminal, two crimping operations are performed simultaneously. One is the electrical connection between the conductor and the terminal. The other is insulation crimping, which provides strain relief against vibration and tension. It is important that the electrical connection is airtight, with no gaps between the wire strand and the terminal. The presence of voids can cause corrosion, resistance and heating, and damage electrical connections. The use of good quality crimping tools allows for fully airtight crimping and prevents future degradation of electrical connections and insulation.
