KNIPEX PreciForce Crimping Pliers (220 mm) 97 52 37
Crimping pliers specially for heat shrinkable sleeve connectors from 0.5 to 6.0
Precise crimping – which is why they are called Knipex PreciForce
Crimping is high-precision work. Crimp profile and crimping pressure must be precisely matched to the connectors and cable used to create a connection that is permanently mechanically and electrically safe and secure. The Knipex PreciForce all have a light, compact design with toggle lever reinforcement of manual force and precision crimp profile. The result : ideal, hand-friendly amount of pressure is exerted with precision on the connector being connected to the cable– even with much repeated crimping.
Integral lock for accurate repeated crimping : the PreciForce dispense the crimping pressure
With the Knipex PreciForce, the user can concentrate completely on crimping because the pliers do the job of measuring manual force for him, ensuring the optimal crimping pressure. The crimping pressure of the pliers is optimally set (calibrated) in the factory to the heat shrinkable sleeve connector. The integral lock blocks premature opening of the pliers before the set upper limit has been achieved using hand pressure. The pliers open automatically only on reaching the preset crimping pressure. The integral lock can be released manually, and the crimping pressure can be adjusted if need be.
Accurately machined, durable crimp profiles for heat shrinkable sleeve connectors
With the Knipex PreciForce series, every crimp application has its own version with specially machined crimp profile. One specialist pair of pliers, one application. The Knipex PreciForce is manufactured from special high-grade chrome vanadium electric steel and is oil-hardened. The Knipex PreciForce 97 52 37 is therefore a purchase that will last for a long time and for a special field of application: the crimping of heat shrinkable sleeve connectors from 0.5 to 6.0 mm2.

As a marine electrician, a lot of my work is crimping heat shrink terminals, this requires a tool that not only crimps to a specific pull test but also doesn’t compromise the fragile heat shrink that keeps these terminals waterproof. This tool does the job and then some. Very high quality milling, good ergonomics and adjustability.
Buy this if you are dealing with heat shrink terminations.
Typisch Knipex Zange. Liegt gut in der Hand und qualitativ gu
A differenza di altre pinze crimpatrici pi semplici, questa presenta un meccanismo a cricchetto che consente di “serrare” senza fatica ma sempre con una forza notevole il connettore di tipo isolato utilizzato. Il tutto senza rovinare la guaina termorestringente esterna, che rimane cos integra per la successiva sigillatura termica, in quanto la compressione massima fissa e pretarata di fabbrica.
Pinza certamente non economica ma che ritengo estremante valida in quanto consente di realizzare la “giunzione” in maniera sicura, costante e riproducibile, in modo da rendere uniformi tutti i crimpaggi effettuati.
