Crimping tool YATO YT-22857 for cable lugs 6–50 mm², mechanical, handheld

Crimping tool YATO YT-22857 is a mechanical, handheld instrument intended for crimping cable lugs and ferrules with conductor cross-sections from 6 to 50 mm². The manual design provides controlled, repeatable crimps without the need for electricity or batteries, making it suitable for on-site electrical installation, maintenance and repair tasks. The tool is designed to deliver stable compression force and long-term operation under typical workshop and field conditions.

Advantages

The YATO YT-22857 offers a consistent mechanical crimping action across the specified range of conductor sizes, enabling reliable connections for copper and tin-plated copper lugs and ferrules. Its handheld construction simplifies transport and use in confined spaces. The tool's robust build reduces deformation and wear during repeated operations, ensuring dimensional stability of the crimp profile and extended service life without external power.

Suitable for

• Crimping cable lugs and ferrules for power and grounding conductors (6–50 mm²)
• Electrical installation and termination work in residential, commercial and industrial sites
• Maintenance, repair and retrofit tasks where manual crimping is required
• Field service operations and on-site electrical junctions

Key specifications

• Crimping range: 6–50 mm² conductor cross-section
• Operation: manual, mechanical hand tool
• Application: insulated and uninsulated cable lugs and ferrules compatible with the specified range
• Design: handheld, portable with lever-type actuation
• Materials and finish: durable metal construction intended for repeated mechanical use

How to use

Select a cable lug or ferrule that matches the conductor cross-section within the 6–50 mm² range. Strip the conductor to the recommended length for the chosen terminal, insert the conductor fully into the lug or ferrule, and position the terminal in the crimping die. Operate the handles of the YATO YT-22857 until the full crimping stroke is completed and the terminal is securely compressed. Inspect the crimp visually and, where required, perform a pull or continuity check to confirm electrical and mechanical integrity.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool only with terminals and conductor sizes within the specified 6–50 mm² range. Maintain the crimping dies by keeping them clean and free of deformation; replace the tool or dies if visible wear affects crimp quality. For critical power or safety circuits, verify crimps with appropriate mechanical and electrical tests and follow relevant installation standards and manufacturer instructions for terminals and conductors.
