Alicate de crimpar Knipex PreciForce modelo 975236 SB — mangos aislados en negro, azul y rojo

The Knipex PreciForce crimping tool is a compact, calibrated hand tool designed for precise, repetitive crimping of insulated and non‑insulated terminals. It combines a self‑releasing mechanism with precision dies to deliver consistent crimps while reducing user fatigue. The tool is lightweight and ergonomically shaped for daily professional use.

Advantages

Precision dies and an integral self‑releasing lock ensure uniform crimp quality across repeated operations. Crimping pressure is factory‑calibrated and can be readjusted if required. A toggle lever provides efficient force transmission for fatigue‑reduced operation, while the favourable handle position, low weight and compact design support comfortable handling. The tool is made from oil‑hardened chrome‑vanadium electric steel for strength and durability.

Suitable for

• Repetitive crimping of insulated and non‑insulated cable terminals
• Electrical installation and maintenance tasks
• Workshop work requiring consistent, calibrated crimps

When it may not be suitable

This crimping tool is intended for hand‑operated crimping tasks and is not designed for very large terminal sizes or industrial high‑volume automated crimping systems. For applications that require hydraulic or pneumatic crimping, or for terminals outside the tool's designed capacity, a different specialised crimping system should be used.

Key specifications

• Weight: 487 g
• Compact design with ergonomically shaped handles
• Factory‑calibrated, adjustable crimping pressure
• Integral self‑releasing mechanism (precision dies)
• Toggle lever for reduced user fatigue
• Material: oil‑hardened chrome‑vanadium electric steel

How to use

Place the prepared conductor and terminal in the appropriate crimping die, align them correctly and squeeze the handles until the self‑releasing mechanism completes the crimp cycle. If required, check and adjust the crimping pressure following the manufacturer's calibration procedure to maintain consistent results. Regularly inspect dies and handles for wear and keep the tool clean and lightly lubricated to ensure reliable operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the tool's crimping capacity matches the terminal sizes you plan to work with
• Consider whether a hand tool meets your volume and speed requirements or if hydraulic/pneumatic solutions are needed
• Check workplace ergonomics and weight preferences for prolonged use

Recommendations

Use the Knipex PreciForce crimping tool for tasks requiring consistent, calibrated crimps; follow calibration and maintenance steps to preserve crimp quality and tool longevity.
