The built-in ratchet guarantees a full-cycle crimp with each squeeze, helping you achieve consistent terminals across projects. Its compound lever-action design and narrow-span handles put impressive crimping force into every motion, while the color-coded cavities guide you to the correct size for 10-22 AWG stranded copper wire. The tool also features an adjustable dial to fine-tune crimp force, empowering you to tailor pressure for different terminal bodies and materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for reliability in daily use, this crimper delivers a controlled, low-effort crimp that resists slippage and pull-off. The three dedicated cavities—22-16 AWG (Red), 16-14 AWG (Blue), and 12-10 AWG (Yellow)—provide a streamlined workflow, eliminating the need to swap tools mid-task. Built with dual-material grips, the tool emphasizes comfort during long sessions, helping reduce hand fatigue without sacrificing grip or precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey design features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrimps insulated terminals onto 10-22 AWG stranded copper wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable compound action design puts more crimping power into each squeeze\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree crimping cavities in one tool: 22–16 AWG (Red), 16–14 AWG (Blue) and 12–10 AWG (Yellow) terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in ratchet ensures full-cycle crimping for a uniform crimp every time\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnique cavity design provides consistent crimp from either side of the tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDial adjusts the amount of force applied to the crimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual-material molded grips provide added comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePractical uses and benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomotive wiring harnesses and battery connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectrical installations in panels and equipment with insulated terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAppliance wiring and electronics projects requiring repeatable crimps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDIY loom and harness work where multiple terminal sizes are common\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuality and comfort for daily work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a long history of craft and engineering, Klein Tools builds gear designed to withstand professional workloads.
