Description
The IDT-12-N Hydraulic Crimping Tool is a hand-held,
self-contained, dieless crimping tool intended to crimp
aluminum and copper connectors onto electrical cable.
The hinged crimping head, which allows easy loading
and unloading of splice connections, swivels 180° for
maximum flexibility. The two-speed hydraulic system
automatically switches from rapid advance (for quick
snug-up) to normal advance (to accomplish the crimp).
An internal pressure regulating system automatically
sets the correct pressure for the connector.
