• Hand Crimp Tool for Modular RJ Plugs. Professional hand crimp tool frame made from hardened steel for crimping modular RJ plugs onto conductors using interchangeable die sets. This RJ modular plug hand crimp tool features a full cycle ratcheting mechanism that prevents the handles from opening until a full crimp cycle is achieved. The ratchet mechanism releases at the end of the closing stroke and allows the handles of the tool to open. This feature ensures that full crimps are achieved and partial crimps are avoided. A ratchet release lever enables the tool to be opened if jamming or miscrimping occurs. This modular RJ plug crimp tool features an optimized leverage system and ergonomically designed handles making the tool easy and comfortable to use. A hand operated screw allows easy die set loading.
