Twistor16 self-adjusting crimping pliers for wire ferrules with rotatable die head, 0.14 to 16 mm², retail pack - Knipex 97 53 18 SB

On a DIN rail or in a packed terminal row there is rarely space to place the pliers straight onto the ferrule. On the Twistor16 the die head turns through 360 degrees and locks in eight positions, which allows ferrules from 0.14 to 16 mm² to be crimped from almost any working position. This item is the self-service version of the 97 53 18 tool and comes in a retail pack.

Benefits

• Die head rotates through 360 degrees with eight locking positions, so crimping works even in cramped terminal areas.
• Square crimping profile with a wide capacity range from 0.14 to 16 mm², with no dies to change.
• The pliers adjust themselves automatically to the different cross-sections.
• Crimping opening accessible from both sides, over-long ferrules can be pushed through.
• Twin ferrules up to 2 x 6 mm² can be crimped.
• Unlockable ratchet for repeatable crimping quality, hand force is multiplied by a toggle lever mechanism.

Areas of use

Control cabinet building, control system assembly and service work on wiring that is already installed, where the pliers cannot be placed freely. The rotating head shows its value wherever tightly packed terminal rows block a straight approach. The retail pack is intended for sale from a display wall, the tool matches the 97 53 18 version.

Standards and conformity

For this retail pack version the manufacturer does not state a separate tool standard and gives no separate REACH or RoHS data on the product page. No conformity values were therefore taken over.
