Klein Tools 3005CR Ratcheting Crimper, 10-22 AWG - Insulated Terminals

The Klein Tools 3005CR ratcheting crimper handles 10-22 AWG stranded copper wire with insulated terminals. This tool features three color-coded crimping cavities in one unit: 22-16 AWG (Red), 16-14 AWG (Blue), and 12-10 AWG (Yellow) terminals. The adjustable compound action design multiplies crimping force with each squeeze, while the built-in ratchet mechanism ensures complete crimping cycles for uniform connections every time.

The unique cavity design lets you crimp consistently from either side of the tool, giving you better access in tight spaces. A dial adjustment controls the amount of force applied to each crimp, preventing over-compression or incomplete connections. The dual-material molded grips reduce hand fatigue during extended use. This crimper works specifically with insulated terminals, making it essential for automotive, marine, and general electrical work where moisture protection matters.

Electricians and automotive technicians rely on this tool for panel wiring, trailer connections, and equipment repairs. The ratcheting action prevents partial crimps that can lead to loose connections or voltage drops. Whether you're running new circuits or repairing existing wiring, this crimper delivers professional-grade connections on insulated terminals across the most common wire gauges.
