RS PRO Professional Universal Crimp Tool Frame 240mm Adjustable Ratchet 6 mm² Wire Capacity 848-391

RS PRO 848-391 professional universal crimp tool frame is designed for use with compatible die sets to produce high-quality crimp terminals. This crimping tool frame offers an overall length of 240mm and features an adjustable ratchet mechanism for precision and ease of use. Constructed from heat-treated steel with a black oxide finish, it ensures durability and corrosion resistance for long service life.

The tool includes a full cycle ratchet controlled release to guarantee a complete crimp cycle, preventing incomplete crimps and ensuring reliability. The ergonomic red molded textured plastic grips provide comfortable handling, reducing user fatigue during repetitive tasks.

The crimp tool frame supports wire sizes from 0.25 mm² up to 6 mm², making it suitable for various terminal crimping needs. It is compatible with RS die sets 158-8949 and 848-408, extending its versatility. The tool is designed primarily for terminal crimping, including insulated and environmentally sealed applications, ensuring gas-tight and strain-relieved crimps.

Typical uses include electrical installations, maintenance, marine environments, and cable assembly operations where precision and reliability are essential. The crimping process produces two simultaneous crimps: the electrical connection between conductor and terminal, and the insulation crimp that provides strain relief to prevent vibration and tension-related failures.

To maintain optimal tool performance, regular lubrication of moving parts is recommended, particularly every 10,000 cycles or when the tool is subjected to contaminants. This maintenance routine helps extend the tool's operational life and ensures consistent quality crimps over time.

The tool's heat-treated steel frame with black oxide finish provides superior durability and corrosion resistance. Adjustable ratchet mechanism ensures controlled and complete crimping cycles. Red molded ergonomic grips provide comfort for extended use.

Accommodates wire sizes ranging from 0.25 mm² to 6 mm² for versatile applications. Compatible with RS die sets 158-8949 and 848-408 to suit different terminal types. Ideal for professional electrical, marine, and maintenance applications requiring gas-tight crimps.

Regular lubrication recommended every 10,000 cycles to preserve tool functionality.
