This Molex hand crimping tool makes it simple to crimp terminals by simply squeezing the handles until the ratchet mechanism releases. The insulation diameters are clearly marked on the jaw to help you determine appropriate entry points for efficient crimping. This tool is suitable for both right-handed and left-handed operation, making it a versatile choice. The built-in ratchet mechanism keeps the handles locked until the crimp cycle is completed, preventing partial crimps. It's designed for a wire size of 18AWG (American Wire Gauge), making it suitable for a variety of standard electrical applications.
