Crimping tool ks tools 115.1231, 220 mm – for insulated and non-insulated terminals

Hand crimping tool ks tools 115.1231, 220 mm – for insulated and non-insulated terminals is a manual crimper designed to form reliable mechanical crimps on a wide range of electrical terminals. With a 220 mm overall length and a construction tailored for both insulated and non‑insulated terminals, this tool offers controlled force transmission and precise jaw alignment to ensure consistent crimps for wiring, automotive repairs and light industrial assembly tasks.

Advantages

The ks tools crimping tool features ergonomically profiled handles for improved grip and reduced hand fatigue during repeated use. Its hardened crimping dies maintain shape and alignment over time to deliver consistent contact area and mechanical retention. The tool’s ability to process both insulated and non‑insulated terminals eliminates the need for separate crimpers, simplifying tool sets and reducing setup time. Compact 220 mm length balances leverage and accessibility for use in tighter spaces.

Suitable for

• Electrical wiring and terminal preparation in control panels
• Automotive electrical repairs and harness assembly
• Light industrial and maintenance crimping tasks
• Workshop and field service operations

Key specifications

• Overall length: 220 mm
• Crimp type: mechanical crimp for insulated and non‑insulated terminals
• Material: hardened steel crimping dies with corrosion‑resistant finish
• Handle: ergonomically profiled for secure grip
• Application: manual crimping for electrical terminals and connectors

How to use

Prepare the conductor and terminal according to the terminal manufacturer’s recommendations. Insert the terminal into the appropriate jaw profile of the crimping tool, position the stripped conductor within the terminal barrel, and squeeze the handles firmly and evenly until the crimp is completed. After crimping, visually inspect the crimp for correct deformation and retention of the conductor; if required, perform a pull test to confirm mechanical integrity. For terminals with insulation, ensure the insulation is properly retained without damage.

Recommendations

Use the crimping tool in dry, well‑lit conditions and select the correct jaw profile for the terminal type. Periodically clean the dies and apply light lubrication to pivot points to maintain smooth operation. Do not use the tool on materials outside its intended application or apply excessive force beyond normal manual operation.
