Electronic components and automation solutions from RS Pro has been offering no compromise between quality, price and efficiency since 1937. Quality is the company’s passion, that is why every item gets audited, inspected and tested for compliance with internal and international standards by highly qualified engineers.RS Pro Multi Purpose Crimping ToolRS Pro offers this 4 in 1 application crimp tool, a quality hand tool for crimping, wire stripping, wire cutting and bolt cutting. This hand tool will not only save you time but your work will be presented in a professional manner which makes it the ideal choice for professionals and DIY enthusiast. The crimp application of the tool is simple it connects 2 pieces of material together by compression typically a wire and a connector terminal. The wire stripper application is a joy to use, just slip the wire through the appropriate channel, squeeze and slide the outer sheath off to expose the wire. A great feature of this crimp tool is the capacity to non-insulated connectors like copper tubes and open end terminals. It’s simply a case of preparing the wire, attaching the terminal and squeezing to make the union. And finally a bolt cutter, this application is sometimes overlooked but if you need to trim a bolt simply screw the bolt into the hole and squeeze handle for a precise cut.Features and Benefits

  • 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 CrimpWhen 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 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.''
