- Crimping efficiency: Crimping die positioned behind the hinge provides superior leverage for crimping non-insulated connectors, lugs and terminals, delivering consistent, reliable joints with less effort. - Secure grip and long-lasting blades: Toothed pipe grip delivers greater gripping power on round or odd shapes, while induction hardened cutting knives resist wear for longer life. - Smooth, durable operation: Hot-riveted joint ensures smooth action and no handle wobble for steady performance over time. - Reduced fatigue during cutting: Unique handle tempering helps absorb the snap when cutting wire, improving comfort during extended use. - Built to last in the USA: Forged in the USA with custom, US-made tool steel for maximum durability and dependable performance on tough jobs. - Tough plier head: Precision-hardened plier head provides on-the-job toughness and maintains sharpness under demanding use. Use scenarios: - Automotive wiring and electrical repairs: Crimp non-insulated connectors and lugs with confidence, while also cutting wires as needed in the same tool. - Home electrical installations and DIY projects: Reuse and install non-insulated terminals and connectors in panels, outlets, and appliance wiring with accurate crimps and durable cutting capability. - Industrial harness assembly and service panels: Perform precise crimping and cutting in control wiring, harness fabrication, and maintenance work where reliability and long tool life matter.
