Product Information

Electrical crimping tools are also called battery-powered crimping tools. As the name suggests, they’re electrically powered; thus, they require less effort in applying the necessary pressure than handheld crimp tools. Electrical crimp tools are often available in a wide range of models which suits different requirements. They cost a little more and have better ergonomics than their handheld counterparts. 3. Benchtop

Simply slide the gauge over the crimped ring or sleeve, and if it moves smoothly over the connection, the crimp has been done correctly. If the gauge doesn't fit or feels tight, the crimp may need to be adjusted. Look for a crimp tool with ergonomic handles that will be comfortable to use, especially if you'll be working on a large-scale project.Note: the explanation below is based on a typical cable lug terminal connection. Items needed for crimping a wire

At BES, we like to say not only that We’ve Got It, as in we’ve got every fitting or part you need, but we like to make sure that you will not find a better selection of press-fit fittings or pipe tools at a better price anywhere else too. Squeeze the tool's handles tightly to compress the crimp ring and firmly secure the pipe to the fitting.Crimping tools have basic components that set them apart from other types of cutters. If you're out looking for a plumbing crimping tool, here are some of the components to look at: Next, run your fingers along the crimped area, feeling for any bumps or irregularities. These could be signs of a misaligned crimp, which could potentially cause leaks later on. Now apply pressure on the joint where the lug terminal and the cable meet using your crimping tool. You must apply enough pressure, especially when using a handheld crimping tool like the iCrimp HX-50BI Wire Terminal Crimping Tool. It’s advisable that the crimping starts in the middle of the connection toward the cable. More importantly, the crimping die has to be compatible with the terminal lug. This post explores categories of crimp tools, various types, and how to use them. Why is Crimping Considered Better than Other Alternatives? This category of crimping tools uses hydraulic fluid to provide compression pressure for crimping. Therefore, they require little effort to operate. In addition, hydraulic crimp tools are best for industrial applications and major crimping repairs. For instance, the IWISS Hydraulic Copper Tubing Press Tool Kit. 5. Pneumatic

This will compress the crimp ring around the pipe and fitting, creating a secure and watertight connection. Once complete, release the handles and remove the tool from the crimped ring. Lastly, consider using a go/no-go gauge tool, which is specifically designed to verify the accuracy of crimped connections. If you’re working more on DIY projects at home, and wouldn’t necessarily need or have professional equipment, you may prefer using push-fit fittings instead. The right fittings for the job They are used to join electrical connectors and cables within car engines. Usually, they feature plier designs which are standard in most tools for working on non-insulated, pre-insulated, ignition, and battery terminals.If any gaps or uneven areas are present, this may indicate that the crimp was not properly applied. In such cases, you should remove the connection and re-crimp it before proceeding. With the tool properly aligned, it's time to apply pressure and crimp the connection.
