Extremely user-friendly: precision requiring little time and effort
Professional crimping results –the ideal crimping pressure automatically
The crimping of non-insulated cable lugs and connectors requires a great deal of care in order to create safe electrical connections. Normally. The Knipex 97 52 13 crimping pliers are a tool that intuitively helps the user do everything right.
Non-insulated crimp, tubular and compression cable lugs and non-insulated crimp, butt and press connectors are reliably crimped to the conductors in the precision-machined crimp profiles. The integral lock ensures that the pliers only open once the optimal crimping pressure set in the factory has been reached. The crimping pressure can be adjusted; the integral lock can be released if need be.
30 % less effort required – the leverage principle is used twice
Double use of the leverage principle – twice the relief from strain: up to 30 % less effort required compared to conventional crimping pliers, made possible by applied physics. The handles of the Knipex 97 52 13 are shaped to produce a long lever arm. This also permits two-handed operation for large conductor cross-sections. Special leverage is also integrated in the crimping pliers, so that even a low level of manual force gets to the conductor in a carefully measured way. The user can professionally produce stable connections from conductors and cable lugs or connectors with little time and effort.
This is how it is done: three hand movements to produce a professional crimp connection
A non-insulated crimp, tubular and compression cable lug or a non-insulated crimp, butt and press connector is inserted in the corresponding precision die. The lower handle is pulled up using two fingers, until both jaws are resting on the cable lug or connector to be crimped, thereby fixing it in the crimp profile. After inserting the stripped cable, crimping is carried out: reliably and securely. The Knipex 97 52 13 has been designed for many years of use. The high Knipex quality standards and selection of materials with high-grade chrome vanadium electric steel ensure that all the qualities of these crimping pliers will last for a long time.
