The #53-215 is our larger, lever-type hand crimp tool. It has two dies; one for 1/8″ cable and one for 3/16″. While this tool is certainly larger and bulkier than the #53-210, it is much quicker and easier to use. If you’re using this tool, then you’ll only need three crimps per fitting instead of the usual five. For jobs which require dozens or hundreds of crimps, then we highly recommend this tool over the bolt-style alternative. The #53-215 is made in the USA, and it’s not uncommon to see the same tool in use for 10+ years! It’s a great production tool for dealers. Comes complete with an after-crimp gauge to check your progress.
THIS TOOL IS COMPATIBLE WITH 1/8″ OR 3/16″ JOHNSON HAND CRIMP FITTINGS ONLY. YOU CAN NEVER USE A CRIMP TOOL ON A MACHINE-SWAGE FITTING. It is not guaranteed to work with any other manufacturers hardware. Conversely, other manufacturer’s tools cannot be used on our fittings. Other crimping tools will not compress Johnson stainless steel fittings properly. Only use a Johnson approved tool; if you’re using our hardware, then you need to be using our tool as well. PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE CAN RESULT FROM THE USE OF IMPROPER TOOLS, AND FAILURE WILL OCCUR. FAILURE TO FOLLOW OUR INCLUDED INSTRUCTIONS AND/OR FAILURE TO USE A PROPER TOOL VOIDS ANY OF OUR MANUFACTURER WARRANTIES.
Note:
– Our fittings are not compatible with Nicropress tools, which are designed to crimp soft copper and aluminum oval and stop sleeves only.
– Johnson tools are designed with special width and relief patterns which apply to Johnson hand crimp fittings and instructions only.
– The use of other tools or crimping fittings other than Johnson hand crimp fittings with Johnson tools can result in failure of the terminal, personal injury or loss of life.
