Cable Crimper Knipex 97 32 240

The Knipex 97 32 240 cable crimper is a compact, robust tool for cutting cables, stripping wire and crimping insulated and non-insulated terminals, connectors and plug-type connectors. It features threaded holes for cutting copper and brass screws with metric threads M2.6, M3, M3.5, M4 and M5, a bolted joint for increased stability and even movement, and is made from special high-strength steel. With a length of 240 mm, width of 62 mm, height of 92 mm and a weight of 0.3 kg, the tool is easy to handle and suitable for professional and hobby use.

Advantages

The tool combines multiple functions—cable cutting, wire stripping and crimping—into one compact unit, reducing the need for several separate tools. Threaded holes for cutting screws provide added versatility for work with copper and brass fasteners. A bolted joint ensures stable, even motion and longer service life, while the high-strength special steel construction increases durability. The ergonomic design and low weight improve handling during extended use.

Suitable for

• Electricians performing installation and maintenance of wiring and connectors
• Network technicians terminating plug-type connectors and data cables

How to use

Select the appropriate function area on the crimper for cutting, stripping or crimping. For cable cutting, position the cable in the cutting jaws and squeeze the handles evenly. For stripping, align the conductor in the correct stripping notch and pull the insulation away while maintaining light pressure. For crimping terminals or connectors, insert the prepared wire and terminal into the corresponding crimp cavity and compress the handles until a firm crimp is achieved. Use the threaded holes to cut copper or brass screws of the indicated metric sizes when required. Maintain controlled, even pressure through the bolted joint for consistent results.

Recommendations

Inspect the tool before use for wear or damage and ensure connectors and wires are compatible with the crimper's cavities. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection) when cutting and crimping. Keep the tool clean and lightly lubricated at the joint; store in a dry place to prevent corrosion and preserve the high-strength steel finish.
