The new tool, featuring a 350-degree rotating head for operation in a range of positions, uses the company’s interchangeable MD6-Series jaws, which accommodate W- and X-style dies in the permanent D3 crimping groove. According to the company, the Patriot In-Line crimper provides a consistent and reliable connection on a range of copper and aluminum terminals and splices, overhead taps, full-tension splices and “deadends.”
