Latest product from Hellermann is the Uni-Crimper hand crimping tool for insulated solderless terminals. Three sizes of insulated terminals in the wire range from 0.5 to 6mm2 can be accommodated with the tool.
Colour-coded gauge holes in the tool head allow the wire to be matched correctly to the terminal size. The positive over-centre action of the tool prevents over or under compression of the terminal and calls for no excessive pressure on the handles.
A locator is provided for the three types of terminal normally used—the ring or spade terminal, the wire pin and the butt connector' or splice. And the tool also contains insulation strippers for 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5, 4 and 6mrn2 conductors as well as wire cutters.
