Knipex Western Plug Crimp Tool for RJ11, RJ12, RJ45 Modular Plugs, 190mm Length 97 51 10

Knipex 97 51 10 Western plug crimp tool is engineered for precise crimping and cable preparation tasks involving RJ11, RJ12 (6-pin), and RJ45 (8-pin) modular plugs, supporting connector sizes of 9.65 mm and 11.68 mm respectively. This crimping tool offers parallel crimping with automatic force adjustment, ensuring high-quality, repeatable crimps without the need for manual pressure calculation.

The integrated lock with release mechanism guarantees the exact pressure on each ferrule, preventing over or under crimping, which is essential for creating gas-tight electrical connections that resist corrosion and mechanical stress. The tool also features cutting and stripping capabilities for unshielded ribbon telephone cables up to 6 and 12 mm in length, enhancing its multifunctional utility.

Construction-wise, the tool is crafted from special grade chrome vanadium electrical steel that is oil quenched, providing excellent mechanical strength and long service life. The ergonomic multi-component handles reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks, making it suitable for professional maintenance, electrical installation, and workshop environments. Regular lubrication is recommended after 10,000 cycles to maintain performance integrity.

The tool includes interchangeable blades, with a set of four replacement blades available under part number 97 59 06, supporting extended durability and ease of maintenance. The overall tool length is 190 mm, balancing maneuverability and leverage for precise operation.
