Greenlee, 08161, K425KO Manual Crimping Tool with Kearney "D" and "O" Die Grooves
The K425K58 and K425KO Mechanical Crimping Tools are hand-operated tools that use permanent die grooves and/or insertable Kearney O-type dies. These tools have two permanent die grooves, either a “5/8” or “O”, and an opening for Kearney O-type dies. When used with the Kearney “D” die, the die groove also serves as a seat for W-type die inserts to install additional connector types. The die inserts snap into the “D” groove easily with one hand and are secured with the spring-loaded, positive lock, die retaining buttons. All the tools install a full range of connectors including service entrance splices and terminals, stacking lugs, street light, stirrup, and repair sleeves. The tools incorporate an over center toggle action mechanism, allowing for easy crimping operations and field adjustability.
