Product Information
Full details
The Facom 673838 Ratchet Crimping Pliers are precision-engineered tools designed for professional electricians and technicians who require reliable terminations for insulated terminals. The primary benefit is the integrated ratcheting mechanism that ensures a perfect, consistent crimp every time, preventing under- or over-crimping; however, the tool is strictly calibrated for specific insulated terminal sizes and may not be suitable for specialized non-insulated applications.

FAQs
What is the capacity of the 673838 crimpers?
These pliers have a capacity range of 0.4mm to 6mm.
Can I use these for non-insulated terminals?
No, these pliers are specifically designed for insulated terminals.
What should I do if the jaws stick?
Check for debris in the die and apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot points.
How long is the tool?
The overall length of the pliers is 228mm.
What is the purpose of the locator?
The locator holds the terminal in the correct position so your hands are free to insert the wire accurately.
Troubleshooting
The pliers will not open after a crimp
The ratcheting cycle must be completed to release the jaws. Ensure you have squeezed the handles fully until the ratchet clicks or releases.
Crimp connection feels loose
Verify that you are using the correct terminal size for the wire gauge and that the terminal is correctly positioned in the locator before starting the crimp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Facom 673838, keep the jaws free of wire debris and insulation scraps. Since this tool uses a precision die, avoid using it on hardened steel or non-standard terminals that could chip the stainless steel. Compatibility is limited to standard insulated terminals within the 0.4mm to 6mm range. Periodically apply a light drop of machine oil to the ratcheting pivot point to maintain smooth operation, and store the tool in a dry place to prevent surface corrosion on the handles.
