Premium CERTI-CRIMP and CERTI-CRIMP II Hand Tools are top-of-the-line, hand-operated tools for crimping a broad array of terminals, contacts and special wiring devices available from Tyco Electronics. 

They are designed to exacting specifications to produce consistent, high-quality terminations. A potential service life of over 50,000 cycles is possible, depending on operator care.

Your Choice
There are currently seven basic styles of CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools. The choice depends on the product being applied and/or your preferred method of application. For example, open barrel contacts typically require straight-action die movement to minimize possible rotation during crimping. Or, if your application requires crimping different sizes of terminals, you may prefer using a single tool with a combination of crimping nests, rather than two or three separate tools. Other options include insulation crimp adjustment for different insulation thicknesses, a locator for properly positioning and supporting the terminal or contact in the tool, a wire stop, and color coding and/or wire size information on the head of the tool or on the handles.

Ratchet Control
All CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools feature the reliable ratchet control. The ratchet will not release until the handles are fully closed and the dies bottomed. This helps eliminate partial crimps. 

CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools are well suited for low production runs, prototype work, and repairs - almost any application requiring consistent, highly-reliable terminations. CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools are designed to meet all feature requirements listed on applicable Tyco Electronics Application Specifications.
