Product Information

Full details

Designed specifically for professional electricians and automotive technicians, these Facom Ratchet Action Electrical Terminal Crimping Pliers provide a reliable and consistent way to secure insulated terminals. The tool excels at delivering precise pressure for 1.5mm, 2.5mm, and 6mm terminal sizes, effectively reducing the risk of loose connections in critical wiring systems. However, users should be aware that the fixed die setup is optimized specifically for standard insulated terminals, meaning it may not be suitable for non-insulated or specialty connectors without adjustment.

FAQs

Can I use these for non-insulated terminals?

No, these pliers are specifically designed for insulated terminals. Using them on non-insulated terminals may cause damage to the dies.

How do I know which slot to use?

The slots are clearly marked with color-coding corresponding to industry-standard red (1.5mm), blue (2.5mm), and yellow (6mm) terminal sizes.

What is the total length of the tool?

The Facom 985894 pliers measure 230mm in length.

Do I need to adjust the pressure?

The tool is factory-set to provide the optimal pressure for standard insulated terminals and does not require user adjustment.

What material are the dies made from?

The crimping dies are constructed from durable stainless steel.

Troubleshooting

The crimping tool will not release after squeezing.

This is often caused by an incomplete cycle. Ensure the handles are squeezed until they meet their end-stop to trigger the automatic release.

Terminal appears loose after crimping.

Verify that you are using the correct terminal size for the specific die slot and ensure the wire is stripped to the proper length before crimping.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistent, repeatable crimping results due to the ratchet design
  • High-quality stainless steel dies ensure long-term tool life
  • Soft-feel grips improve comfort during long work shifts
  • Excellent leverage reduces physical strain on the operator
  • Clear color-coded compatibility for standard terminal types

Cons

  • Limited to specific insulated terminal sizes
  • Not compatible with non-insulated terminals
  • Heavier than manual non-ratcheting crimpers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To operate these pliers, ensure you are using compatible insulated terminals (1.5mm, 2.5mm, or 6mm). No complex setup is required, as the dies are factory-calibrated. To maintain the tool's longevity, keep the hinge and ratchet mechanism clean of debris and wire clippings. Apply a light machine oil to the pivot point periodically to keep the action smooth. Store in a dry environment to prevent surface corrosion, and avoid using the pliers to cut wires, as this can damage the precision-engineered crimping dies.
