DESCRIPTION
The Heavy Head Hand Tool consists of a crimp head containing two stationary crimping dies (anvils), two
moveable dies (crimpers), a locator, an insulation crimping adjustment pin, and handles with a ratchet. See
Figure 1.
This tool is a member of the CERTI-CRIMP
™
hand crimping tool family. The ratchet on this tool ensures full
crimping of the product. After it is engaged, the ratchet does not release until the handles are fully closed.
When closed, the crimping dies form a crimping chamber with two sections: an insulation barrel section and a
wire barrel section. The insulation barrel section crimps the insulation barrel of the product onto the wire
insulation. Simultaneously, the wire barrel section crimps the wire barrel of the product onto the wire
conductors.
The locator positions the product in the crimping chamber. The insulation crimping adjustment pin is used to
regulate the height of the insulation crimp.
CAUTION
The dies bottom before the ratchet releases. This feature ensures maximum tensile performance of the crimp.
Do not
re-
adjust the ratchet.
