The M22520/1-01 is a standard Adjustable Crimp Tool with wire crimp range 26 to 12AWG. The tool has a double action ratchet and cannot be opened without completing the cycle. Over a thousand turret heads are available to adapt the tool frame to your specific military or proprietary contact/wire combination. The 8 impression crimp, which is standard in the AF8, assures absolute maximum tensile strength with almost every closed barrel contact.
The precision ratchet controls cycling of the tool in both directions of handle movement. This assures the same accurate crimp every time. It's like having a quality control inspector at every work station. The adjustable head (P/N UH2-5) is ideally suited for lab work and prototype production applications. The selected contact is inserted through the entry hole on the opposite side of the tool frame from the head.
