Double Action Hand Tool (DAHT) Hand Tool
Designed to crimp a variety of loose piece contacts and confirm full crimping of the contact, CERTI-CRIMP DAHTs feature two moveable jaws (crimper and anvil). An innovative ratchet enables full crimping of the contact and, once engaged, will not release until the dies have been fully closed. This allows for maximum electrical and tensile performance of the crimped contact. Most tools include a locator/wire stop and many feature three positions for insulation crimp height adjustment. Two adjustment pins are used to regulate the crimp height of the contact insulation barrel and a locator/wire stop positions the contact and limits the insertion distance of the stripped wire into the contact. For quick identification, all tools are laser marked with the wire size for each crimp nest.

Rachet Control
Reliable Design
All CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools feature reliable ratchet control that will not release until the handles are fully closed and the dies bottomed. This helps eliminate partial crimps.
CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools are well-suited for low production runs, prototype work and repairs—almost any application requiring consistent, highly-reliable terminations. CERTI-CRIMP Hand Tools are designed to meet all feature requirements listed on applicable TE Application Specifications. (Check appropriate product catalogs for qualification to military specifications, UL recognition and CSA certification.)
