Crimping Tool Kits

How often should crimping tool sets be cleaned to prevent moisture damage?

• Clean the crimping tool after each use to remove oil, dirt, or debris that could cause moisture buildup and potential damage.
• Consider cleaning the tool monthly or more frequently, especially with heavy use or exposure to extreme conditions, to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
• Regular cleaning and maintenance help preserve the effectiveness of the tool and prevent damage caused by moisture.

What are the safety precautions to follow when using terminal crimping tools?

• Ensure the crimping tool is not insulated and use proper personal protective equipment when working near energised electrical lines to prevent electric shock hazards.
• Avoid using hands to check for oil leaks as highly pressurised oil can puncture the skin, causing serious injury. Seek immediate medical attention if injured by escaping oil.
• Refrain from using solvents or flammable liquids to clean the crimping tool to prevent fire hazards. Dispose of batteries properly and refrain from disposing of them in a fire to prevent explosions and harmful fumes.
• Inspect the crimping tool and jaws / dies before each use, replacing any worn or damaged parts to prevent tool breakage that could cause injury.
• Avoid placing the tool in a vise, protect it from rain and moisture, and prevent anything from contacting the battery terminals to prevent short circuits and damage to the battery.
• Keep hands away from the crimping tool head during crimping tasks to avoid injuries or accidents
