Product Information
Full details
The Laser Heavy Duty Ratchet Crimping Pliers (MPN 7314) are designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing to reliably crimp copper tube terminals. Offering a secure and consistent connection for electrical wiring, their primary benefit is the ratcheting mechanism that ensures a full crimp cycle, preventing incomplete connections. A key consideration is that these pliers are optimized for specific terminal sizes and may not be suitable for applications requiring larger crimps.

FAQs
What is the maximum wire size this tool can crimp?
The Laser 7314 is designed for copper tube terminals up to 10mm².
Can I use these pliers for aluminum terminals?
No, these pliers are specifically designed for copper tube terminals. Using them on other materials may result in a poor connection or damage to the tool.
What is the benefit of the ratcheting mechanism?
The ratcheting mechanism ensures that the crimping cycle is completed fully, providing a secure and reliable connection every time. It prevents partial crimps that can lead to electrical failures.
Where can I find compatible copper tube terminals?
Compatible copper tube terminals are available under the Connet range, Part No. 30100, or similar specifications designed for these crimping pliers.
How do I maintain these crimping pliers?
Keep the tool clean, lubricate the pivot point periodically, and inspect the jaws for wear. Store them in a dry environment to prevent rust.
What should I do if I need to crimp larger terminals than 10mm²?
For larger crimping applications above 10mm², you should use specific heavy-duty crimping tools such as Laser Part Nos. 6615 & 6922.
Are these pliers suitable for automotive electrical work?
Yes, they are ideal for small battery terminals and auxiliary component earth connections commonly found in automotive electrical work.
Troubleshooting
Crimping is loose or incomplete.
Ensure you are using the correct die size for the terminal. Verify the terminal is fully seated in the die. Squeeze the handles until the ratcheting mechanism fully completes the cycle.
Handles are stiff or difficult to operate.
Clean the pivot area and moving parts. Apply a light lubricant (e.g., WD-40 or tool oil) to the pivot. Check for any debris or damage in the ratcheting mechanism.
The ratchet mechanism is not engaging or releasing properly.
Inspect the ratcheting gears for damage or debris. Ensure the handles are being squeezed fully to complete the cycle. If damage is visible, professional servicing or replacement may be required.
Terminal is not the correct shape after crimping.
Confirm you are using compatible copper tube terminals and not other types (e.g., spade, ring). Ensure the terminal is correctly oriented within the die cavity before crimping.
Pros and Cons
