IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE CT-2500 and CT-2500/E 
BATTERY OPERATED CRIMPING TOOLS 

  The hydraulic unit incorporates an automatic retraction which returns the piston into its starting 

position when the maximum force is reached. 

  The unit is equipped with a special brake which stops the forward motion of the piston/dies 

when the trigger is released. 

  To simplify operation and gain better access to tight corners and other difficult working areas, 

the crimping head may be rotated, by hand, 360° relative to the tool body.   

  The tool is very lightweight and provides good handling through an ergonomic design.
