Product Information
Full details
The Pressmaster KRB-0560 Crimp Tool is designed for electricians and technicians who need to create secure, reliable connections on uninsulated open barrel connectors. Its primary benefit is the precision ratchet mechanism, which guarantees a complete crimp every time, reducing the risk of connection failure. A key consideration is that it's specifically for uninsulated terminals and the wire range of 0.5 - 6.0 mm².

FAQs
What type of connectors can I use with this tool?
This tool is specifically designed for uninsulated open barrel connectors. It is not compatible with insulated terminals or other connector types.
What is the wire size range for this crimper?
The Pressmaster KRB-0560 is suitable for wire sizes ranging from 0.5 mm² to 6.0 mm².
Why is the ratchet mechanism important?
The ratchet mechanism ensures that the tool completes a full crimping cycle. It prevents the tool from opening prematurely, guaranteeing a secure and reliable connection every time.
How often should I lubricate the tool?
It is recommended to lubricate the pivot points and moving parts with a light machine oil periodically, especially after heavy use or if the tool feels stiff.
Can I use this tool for pre-insulated terminals?
No, this tool is designed exclusively for uninsulated terminals. Using it on insulated terminals may damage the tool and result in a poor connection.
How do I ensure a proper crimp?
Select the correct nest for your terminal, insert the terminal securely, insert the wire fully into the terminal, and then squeeze the handles until the ratchet releases. Ensure the wire gauge matches the tool's specifications.
Troubleshooting
Crimp is not complete (ratchet doesn't release)
Ensure the wire gauge is within the 0.5-6.0 mm² range and correctly seated in the terminal. Check for obstructions in the ratchet mechanism. The tool may need adjustment or servicing if this persists.
Terminal is damaged during crimping
Verify that you are using the correct nest for the specific terminal size. Ensure the terminal is properly aligned in the nest before crimping. The tool may require calibration.
Tool feels stiff or difficult to operate
Clean any debris from the pivot points and jaw mechanism. Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot. Check for bent or damaged components.
Wire pulls out of the terminal after crimping
Confirm the wire is inserted far enough into the terminal before crimping. Ensure the correct nest was used for the terminal and wire combination. The crimp may not have been fully completed; try crimping again, ensuring the ratchet releases.
