These tools are members of the CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool family. The ratchet ensures full crimping of

the product. Once engaged, the ratchet will not release until the handles have been FULLY closed.

CAUTION

The crimping jaws bottom before the ratchet releases. This design feature ensures maximum tensile performance of the crimp.

DO NOT re-adjust the ratchet.
