This tool is qualified to pull force only.  To re-certify, crimp a terminal to a wire, which has been stripped 
12.7mm (1/2”) long, so there is no crimping of the insulation.  Pull the terminal and wire at a rate no faster than 
25mm (1.00”) per minute.  See the Molex web site for the Quality Crimp Handbook for more information on pull 
testing. 

%

 

When the hand tool is no longer capable of achieving minimum pull force, it should be replaced.
