Product Information
Full details
The Ridgemonkey Nite Glo Crimp Tool is an essential piece of tackle for carp anglers who demand precision when constructing rigs and booms. Designed for creating secure, reliable crimped loops, this tool features an ergonomic design and glow-in-the-dark handles for easy retrieval during night sessions. While it provides excellent utility for fine-tuning your presentation, users should note that its compact 125mm size is optimized for specific line diameters, making it a specialized tool rather than a multi-purpose cutter.

FAQs
How long do the handles glow?
The Nite Glo handles can glow for up to 8 hours after being fully charged by light.
Can I use this for metal wire?
No, this tool is specifically designed for fishing line and associated crimps, not heavy-duty metal wire.
What is the length of the tool?
The tool measures 125mm in length.
Are the crimps refillable?
Yes, the crimps are organized in separate flip-top boxes, and the tool is designed to work with standard carp fishing crimps.
Does it come with a case?
The kit includes the tool and organizers for the crimps and covers, but not a dedicated carrying case.
Troubleshooting
Handles are not glowing in the dark
Expose the handles to a direct light source, such as a headtorch or UV light, for several minutes to 'charge' the luminescent material.
Tool feels stiff to open
Apply a light drop of silicone-based oil to the pivot point and work the jaws open and closed several times to redistribute the lubricant.
Crimps are not flattening properly
Ensure you are using the correct size crimp for your specific line diameter and that the line is centered correctly within the jaw die.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nite Glo Crimp Tool, keep the jaws free of debris and salt buildup. The tool is designed to work seamlessly with the included crimp sizes; avoid using oversized crimps to prevent damaging the jaws. Store the tool in the closed position using the locking clasp to protect the hinge mechanism. After use in wet conditions, wipe the tool dry with a clean cloth before returning it to your tackle bag. The glow-in-the-dark handles are "recharged" by exposure to natural or artificial light, so keeping them exposed to light during the day will maximize their effectiveness during nighttime use.
