Professional Grade Ratchet Wire Crimping Tool Pliers 9 Inches - Part RM10002
Universal fit - three position settings for insulated terminals from 0.5 to 6.0 mm
This is a brand new professional grade ratchet crimping tool for insulated terminals, 9 inches long, with three position settings that cover wire from 0.5 mm through to 6.0 mm. The ratchet mechanism is the point of the tool: it will not release the jaws until the crimp has been fully closed, so every terminal you make gets the same complete compression rather than depending on how hard you happened to squeeze.
Crimping was invented by AMP Incorporated in 1941 as a solderless method for terminating wires and connectors, and it remains the preferred method for vehicle and machine wiring. A properly made crimp is gas-tight: the terminal barrel is compressed hard enough around the conductor that no air reaches the joint, so oxidation cannot creep in and raise the resistance over time. That is why a good crimp outlasts a hurried soldered joint on anything that vibrates. A tool that stops short of full compression cannot achieve this, which is exactly what the ratchet is there to prevent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it work on my wiring without any modification?
Yes. The tool is universal and not tied to any make or model. Pick the position that matches your wire - 0.5 to 1.0 mm, 1.5 to 2.5 mm or 4.0 to 6.0 mm - and crimp. Nothing needs to be adapted or set up first.
What is included?
The crimping tool itself. No terminals or connectors are supplied with it, so order the insulated terminals you need separately.
How can I tell whether a crimp has gone wrong?
Give the wire a firm pull: a correct crimp holds and the conductor will not draw out of the barrel. A joint that pulls apart, spins in the terminal, or shows loose strands outside the barrel has not been properly compressed. Connections that were crimped badly tend to show up later as intermittent faults or as a terminal that heats up under load.
Why use a ratchet crimper rather than ordinary pliers?
Because a crimp only works when the barrel is compressed fully enough to become gas-tight, which stops oxygen reaching the joint and keeps the resistance low for the life of the connection. Plain pliers rely on your grip and leave that to chance. The ratchet holds the jaws closed until the full cycle is complete, so every terminal comes out the same.
