Cable Crimper Cimco 101885

The Cimco 101885 cable crimper is a hand tool engineered for accurate and reliable crimping of insulated and uninsulated cable terminals. With an overall length of 650 mm, the tool provides increased leverage for controlled force application and stable crimps. The construction combines a sturdy metal body with an ergonomically shaped handle that supports extended use while maintaining a firm grip. The tool’s finish in black, red and silver aids visibility in a work environment and identifies the brand design.

Advantages

This cable crimper delivers precise, repeatable crimps across a range of cable sizes thanks to its long lever design and solid jaw alignment. The robust construction minimizes flex under load, contributing to consistent connection quality. The ergonomic grip reduces hand fatigue during repetitive tasks and improves control when positioning terminals. The combination of length and mechanical advantage makes the tool suitable for both close-quarters work and applications requiring higher crimping force.

Suitable for

• Crimping insulated and non-insulated electrical terminals
• Automotive wiring repairs and installations
• Industrial and workshop cable assembly
• DIY electrical projects and household wiring maintenance

Key specifications

• Overall length: 650 mm for increased leverage
• Handle: ergonomically shaped for improved grip and comfort
• Construction: robust metal body designed to resist deformation under load
• Jaw design: aligned crimping jaws for consistent contact and compression
• Finish: black, red and silver for enhanced visibility and wear resistance

How to use

Position the terminal and stripped cable conductor correctly in the crimping jaw area, ensuring the conductor is fully inserted into the terminal barrel. Close the handles evenly until the jaws fully compress the terminal; use steady pressure to achieve a consistent crimp. After crimping, inspect the connection for proper mechanical hold and electrical continuity. If required, repeat on additional terminals following the same steps and apply wire management practices such as heat shrink tubing or insulating sleeves for finished assemblies.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool within its intended capacity for the range of terminal sizes it supports; avoid applying excessive force beyond what is required for a clean crimp. Regularly inspect the jaws for wear or deformation and keep the pivot joint lightly lubricated to maintain smooth operation. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion and ensure long-term reliability.
