ASIN: B0006M6Y5MModel: 1005Category: Crimpers & Wire Strippers
Overview
Not a stripper alone, this tool crimps terminals and cuts wire in the same set of jaws. Contoured plastic handles on an alloy steel body give a firm grip, and the listing says it meets relevant industry standards.
Crimping and cutting in one tool means fewer pieces on the belt, which suits a service call or a panel job. What is missing is the range of wire gauges it handles, so match it to your terminals first.
Who it's for
Electricians, technicians and maintenance crews who work with terminal connectors. Hobbyists crimping a few connectors a year may prefer a lighter tool, and anyone who needs wire stripping should add a separate stripper.
Pros and cons
- Crimps and cuts in one tool
- Handles insulated and non-insulated terminals
- Alloy steel body
- Industry standards noted
- Wire gauge range not listed
- No stripping function
- Bulky for small kits
- Only the tool in the box
Performance notes
Hand pressure through the handles closes the jaws, so the crimp quality depends on a full squeeze and the correct terminal fit. The contoured grip spreads the force across the palm over a long day. Matching terminal size to jaw position prevents loose or crushed connections.
