Wide Crimping Range: Equipped with five precision-machined crimp cavities that accommodate aluminum and annealed copper sleeves. Compatible sizes include 1/16" (1.58mm), 3/32"-7/64" (2.5-2.8mm), 1/8" (3.17-3.5mm), 5/32" (4.0mm), and 3/16" (5.0mm). Compatible with oval and double-barrel sleeves, it's ideal for fencing, rigging, marine applications, and cable railing.
[Structural Mechanics Design] The crimping holes are strategically positioned, with the largest holes in the center providing a stronger swage with less force. The smallest holes near the wrist allow for easier crimping with minimal force. The cushioned grip supports ambidextrous use, reducing fatigue during heavy or prolonged work.
Durable Chrome Jaws: Made of heat-treated carbon steel with thick chrome plating, they are resistant to rust and scratches and prevent black oxide buildup, keeping the crimped area clean and durable for long-term use.
[Specialized Crimping Tool] Designed to securely compress thick sleeves, it creates a clean, strong swage. It does not have a cutter function to prevent damage to the sleeve. For best results, be sure to strip the wire before use.
Consistent Crimping Force: Precision factory-calibrated jaws apply consistent pressure for a strong, professional crimp. No need for repeated adjustments, ensuring a consistent, reliable crimp every time.
The KF CPTEC KF-8609 Wire Rope Crimping Tool is designed to precisely crimp aluminum oval and double sleeves and annealed copper ferrules ranging from 1/16" to 3/16" (approximately 1.58mm to 5.00mm). It's ideal for a wide range of applications, from professional to DIY enthusiast, including rigging, deck railings, hanging illumination lights, and marine cable loops. A key feature of this tool is its heat-treated, chrome-plated jaws. A significant upgrade over black-coated tools, these tools are resistant to scratches and dents and prevent the generation of black flakes that can contaminate workpieces. With five clearly defined crimping positions, factory-set crimp force settings, and non-slip cushioned handles, the KF-8609 combines ease of use, power, and stability. Designed for two-handed use, it allows you to utilize your body's strength to achieve a deep, clean swage. Note: This tool does not feature a cutter. When using with insulated wire, always strip the wire before crimping.
