The tool has ergonomically shaped blue-and-red handles, a compact design and a mass of 478 g for comfortable handling in professional and DIY applications.

Advantages

Calibrated crimping pressure and precision dies ensure repetitive, reliable crimp quality. The integral self-releasing lock prevents over-crimping and simplifies workflow. A toggle lever amplifies force for efficient operation while reducing hand strain. The tool’s favorable handle position, low weight and compact shape improve handling during extended use. Hardened chrome vanadium electric steel provides durability and long service life.

How to use

Place the connector or terminal into the appropriate die, position the conductor correctly and close the handles until the tool’s calibrated mechanism completes the crimp and self-releases. If an adjustment is needed, follow the manufacturer’s procedure to re-calibrate the crimping pressure. Maintain grip on the ergonomically shaped handles and use steady pressure to ensure a uniform crimp.

Recommendations

Inspect the dies regularly for wear and keep the tool clean and lightly lubricated. Use the pliers only for their intended crimping purpose and have any re-adjustment or repair performed according to Knipex service instructions to preserve calibrated performance.
