FAQ:
How easy are they to use?
They are very easy to use. Choose the male or female pin for the application, insert the wire into the pin, then open the crimp tool, insert into the hole of the indent crimper, and squeeze until the cycle finishes.

How do you maintain the product?
Movable parts should be regularly lubricated. Lubrication is recommended at least every 10,000 cycles whenever the tool is exposed to contaminants.

The importance of a high-quality crimp:
When a crimping tool is used on a terminal, two crimps take place at the same time. One is the electrical connection between the conductor and terminal. The other is the insulation crimp which provides strain relief against vibration and tension. It is important that the electrical connection is gas-tight without any voids between the wire strands and the terminal. If there are any voids present, then corrosion can occur, causing resistance and excessive heat which damages the electrical connection. Using a good quality crimping tool will ensure that a full, gas-tight crimp is produced, preventing future deterioration of the electrical connection and insulation breakage.
