RS PRO Crimp Tool for Coaxial Connector, 195mm, Alloy Swedish Steel, Hex Crimp 447-459

RS PRO 447-459 Crimp Tool is a high-performance hand tool engineered for crimping coaxial connectors, specifically SMA, SMB and SMC types. Designed for industrial, laboratory and technical applications, this crimping tool provides precision results for a wide range of cables and ensures gas-tight electrical connections.

Constructed from through-hardened alloy Swedish steel, the RS PRO Crimp Tool is built to withstand demanding use and offers exceptional durability with a tested lifespan exceeding 50,000 cycles. The tool produces hexagonal crimps in multiple sizes - including 3.25mm, 4.52mm, 1.69mm, as well as imperial equivalents - for RG 58, RG 59 and RG 62 wire types. The ergonomic handle design incorporates a non-slip main handle and low-friction moving handle, enabling both one- and two-handed grip for improved comfort and productivity.

The tool is equipped with a full cycle crimp mechanism to deliver consistent, repeatable crimps. Its ratchet release mechanism allows users to efficiently clear miscrimps and obstructions, promoting reliability in continuous operation. Precision eccentric adjustment provides the ability to calibrate the tool for specific cable sizes and maintain high accuracy over time. Each crimp tool features a unique serial number for complete traceability in quality control environments.

Ideal use cases include electrical installations, cable assemblies, maintenance and repair for industrial equipment, laboratory instruments, communications, HVAC, and commercial wiring. The tool accommodates both right- and left-handed operation, making it versatile for technicians in demanding workflows. Regular lubrication of axles and moving parts is recommended for maintaining smooth performance, particularly when exposed to contaminants.

Proper crimping is essential to ensure gas-tight electrical connections and prevent corrosion or insulation breakage. Using the RS PRO 447-459 Crimp Tool enables precise, secure connections that safeguard against resistance and heat damage in electronics and power supply applications.
