Benchtop Crimping Tool

John Sprovieri
April 26, 2024

The HX33 benchtop pneumatic crimp tool is an alternative to handheld tools. It accepts wire ranging from 24 to 10 AWG and operates on dry, standard shop air from 80 to 120 psi. The tool is compatible with most interchangeable Y dies that produce various crimp patterns including hex, nest and indent, B crimps, and crescents. This tool is designed to crimp insulated and noninsulated terminals, splices and coax connectors. A foot pedal activates the jaws of the tool. The machine is equipped with a transparent safety guard and an emergency release button to open the jaws in the event of a blockage.
