A crimp tool is a tool that is used to join or connect two pieces of material by using compression to form a connecting bond. This type of hand tool is set to the desired pressure needed to effectively join two pieces together for a secure seal that allows a connection to be made. Some crimp tools have pre-set dies for the terminal to ensure a precise seal. You can learn more in our <a href="https://uk.rs-online.com/web/content/discovery/ideas-and-advice/crimp-tools-guide">guide to crimp tools</a>. <h2>What is a crimp tool used for?</h2> A crimp tool can be used for a variety of different tasks and depends on what type of crimp tool you are using. They are generally used for electrics and cabling, e.g. adding electrical connectors onto a wire or cable. Some crimpers also have cutters or wire strippers built-in as a multi-purpose tool which allows additional versatility across a range of applications. Crimp tools are an essential hand tool for: <h3>Maintenance and repair technicians</h3> <ul> <li>Electrical installation engineers</li> <li>Cable assembly technicians</li> </ul> <h3>What types of crimp tools are there?</h3> Crimp tools allow you to quickly and easily connect two components together and are very easy and efficient to use. Some of the most common types are: <ul> <li>Handheld or manually operated - Easy and simple to use and are normally used to crimp smaller items together. They are an effective and economical tool to use and can be carried in a toolbox and used when required.</li> <li>Electrical - These crimp tools are normally battery-operated and work in the same way as standard handheld crimp tools. The main difference is that less effort is required to use these in comparison to handheld tools.</li> <li>Handheld hydraulic - This tool requires very little user effort when being used because all of the pressure is applied via a pump forcing hydraulic fluid into the crimp tool and compressing the die.</li> <li>Manual benchtop - These crimp tools are mounted to a benchtop and manually operated.</li> <li>Electric benchtop - Mounted onto a benchtop in the same way as a manual one, but an electric motor operates the crimp tool, producing high-quality crimps and are ideal when high production rates are needed.</li> <li>Pneumatic - They can be mounted on a workbench or handheld and work by using the pressurised hydraulic liquid required to crimp material that is difficult to crimp manually.</li> </ul>
