Tools

Wire strippers are simple tools that make installing new connectors on any cable a much simpler job. One of the first steps for installing a connector is peeling back the outer jacket. While this is technically possible with something like a pair of scissors, doing it that way is difficult and delicate work. More often than not, it results in cutting too deep and having to start all over.

Cable cutters are designed to cut exactly through the outer jacket, no more and no less. When used correctly, the blades should never touch anything deeper than the jacket. There are different types of cutters available as well. Most strippers are compatible with multiple cables, with these multi-cable strippers covering different cables that have similar thicknesses.

Crimp tools, also called crimpers, are used to crimp connectors onto bare wire when assembling a cable. There are a few different versions of crimp tools, depending on how the crimper is made and what type of cable it was designed for.

How Do Crimp Tools Work?

Using a crimp tool is fairly simple. First, a cable must be stripped to expose the metal wire inside. Then the metal wire(s) are inserted into the connector. Single conductor cables (coax) are easier to use than multi-wire cables like ethernet or phone lines (additional details below). Once the wires are inserted, put the connector inside the crimp tool and squeeze the handle. The pressure applied by the crimper will tighten the connector to keep it in place.

Product # 93-100-008 This is the Ratchet Mini-Coax Crimper Tool for RG58, Mini-59, and RG174 This Ratchet Tool will crimp connectors on RG58, Mini-59, and RG174 coax cable, compressing and reshaping them until they’re cold-welded onto the wire. This professional grade ratchet crimp tool is made with a hardened steel die set and high ergonomic handle handles crimping with the right amount of force is easy. The Die is removable which allows you to use the same frame with different cable, or replace it if the die wears out. Crimpers will not release until a threshold pressure is delivered, ensuring that full compression is applied. The Ratchet Mini-Coax Crimper Tool for RG58, Mini-59, and RG174 is the quick solution for crimping coax cables. For more information on our products please contact our customer service d
