1. INTRODUCTION
Double Action Hand Crimping Tools 525690 and

onto stranded copper wire sizes 20 through 14 AWG.

2. DESCRIPTION
Each tool features a fixed jaw (crimper), a movable
jaw (anvil), a locator/insulation stop, and a ratchet
attached to a handle.
These tools are members of the CERTI--CRIMP*
hand crimping tool family. The ratchet on these tools
ensures full crimping of the product. Once engaged,
the ratchet will not release until the handles have
been FULLY closed.
The jaws bottom before the ratchet releases. This
design ensures maximum electrical and tensile
performance of the crimp. DO NOT re--adjust the
ratchet.
The locator/insulation stop positions the product
between the jaws and aids in locating the wire in the
product. When closed, the jaws form a crimping
chamber with two sections: an insulation barrel
section and a wire barrel section. The insulation barrel
section crimps the insulation barrel of the product
onto the wire insulation and, simultaneously, the wire
barrel section crimps the wire barrel of the product
onto the wire conductors.
