This new model, self contained, robust and sturdy, will accept all semicircular slotted dies, common to most 130 kN tools. The tool features a double speed action: a fast advancing speed for rapid approach of the dies to the connector and a slower more powerful speed for crimping. For ease of operation and comfort of the operator the tool head can be fully rotated through 180 degrees.The built-in safety valve will by-pass the oil supply when the maximum pressure is reached, and the pressure release system can easily be operated at any stage of compression.
