AT LAST!! AN AFFORDABLE 'PROPER' CRIMPING TOOL
Forget those unreliable 'squeeze' crimp terminals. This tool
will crimp all types including industrial quality 'F' crimp open barrel spade and receptacle
terminals. Hardened steel jaws, wire stripper, 200 terminals and plastic storage case.
To obtain the best results, familiarise yourself with these
instructions and sacrifice a few practice terminals. The tool is designed to crimp terminals
onto cables from 0.5mm˛ to 2.5mm˛ (This refers to the cross-sectional area of copper in the
cable. As a guide, the smallest size is usually used for low current components like
instrument lights and relay feeds. The heaviest for main power feeds to and from your ignition
switch). You’ll see the three cable size ranges clearly stamped on the jaws. In each
terminal compartment you’ll find a black plastic guide sleeve. These slot into the plastic
retainer which is screwed to the rear of the jaws and allow you to accurately set the
alignment of the terminal in the tool (see pic above). To use the smallest size crimp you must
swap the retainer to the other jaw. With a little practice you could probably produce accurate
crimps without the guides. Strip 4 to 5mm of insulation from you cable. Insert your chosen
terminal in to the guide sleeve (see pic above). Insert the cable into the terminal with the
wire through the closed terminal tube and the insulation butting against it. Carefully close
the jaws ensuring that the open wings of the terminal slide up into the ‘V ‘ of the upper
jaw. Crimp tightly. As a ‘belt & braces’ measure you can also solder the inner crimp.
With a little practice you’ll achieve this with minimal melting of the insulation. The tool
also has a sharp cutting blade, stripping jaws and a cropping facility for bolts up to M5.
