TETRA-CRIMP premium grade platform die hand crimp tool frame consisting of a lower jaw platform, an upper jaw platform and ratchet handle. The interchangeable die sets used with this crimp tool need to be purchased separately. This TETRA-CRIMP premium grade hand crimp tool is designed to high specifications using high-quality materials to produce high-quality consistent terminations with optimal electrical and mechanical performance. Premium grade hand crimping tools require minimum operator skill to produce high quality crimps to specified parameters. This hand crimp tool incorporates locating and straightening features that enable the crimped terminals to meet requirements of applicable TEC application (114-) specifications. The TETRA-CRIMP platform die crimp tool features an adjustable spring loaded terminal locator. The whole design of the TETRA-CRIMP hand crimp tool ensures that the dies are bottomed independent of operator technique, fatigue or tool wear & tear. This crimp tool features a CERTI-CRIMP ratchet which is factory set to stay locked until the handles of the tool are fully closed and the dies are bottomed. This ratchet mechanism ensures that the tool only opens once a complete crimp cycle is achieved preventing partial crimps. This TETRA-CRIMP hand crimping tool also features an emergency ratchet release which opens the tool if crimps are improperly positioned. The handles of the crimp tool are set to specific pressures to meet different crimp force requirements.
