With overall dimensions of 160 mm length, 65 mm width and 30 mm height and a lightweight construction of 0.2 kg, this tool combines maneuverability with the mechanical robustness expected from a professional hand tool. The tri-colour finish in orange, red and silver improves visibility on job sites and helps distinguish the tool in a collection of hand tools.

Advantages

The tool provides consistent crimping performance for common connector types and cable terminals thanks to its precision-jawed mechanism and solid build. Its compact size and low weight reduce hand fatigue during repeated use and make it easy to carry in a tool bag or pocket. The visible colour scheme helps locate the tool quickly, and the overall design supports both professional tradespeople and home users seeking reliable crimps.

Suitable for

• Crimping electrical terminals and connectors in network and low-voltage installations
• On-site repairs and field service work where portability is important
• DIY wiring projects and small-scale professional installations

Key specifications

• Length: 160 mm

How to use

Place the stripped cable conductor into the appropriate crimping chamber, align the connector or terminal and squeeze the handles firmly until the crimp is completed. For repeatable results, position the conductor consistently and use steady pressure throughout the stroke. After crimping, visually inspect the connection and, where applicable, perform a pull test to confirm mechanical retention and electrical contact. Keep the jaws clean and free from debris for reliable operation.

Usage recommendations

Use this combination crimper within its intended cable and terminal size range; avoid applying excessive force on oversized components. Store the tool in a dry environment and perform periodic checks for wear on the crimping jaws to maintain consistent performance.
