Product Information

Full details

The Draper 5 Way Crimping Tool is designed for electricians, mechanics, and DIY enthusiasts needing a versatile tool for electrical wiring tasks. Its primary benefit is consolidating five essential functions – crimping (insulated and non-insulated), wire stripping, bolt shearing, and wire cutting – into a single, durable unit. A potential caveat is that its standard trade quality may be more robust than required for very light, occasional use.

FAQs

What is the primary use of this tool?

This tool is designed for a variety of electrical wiring tasks, including crimping insulated and non-insulated terminals, stripping wires, shearing bolts, and cutting wires.

What sizes of insulated terminals can this tool crimp?

It can crimp insulated terminals of size 1.5mm (red), 2.5mm (blue), and 6.0mm (yellow).

Does this tool strip wires?

Yes, it can strip wires with gauges of 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5, 4.0, and 6.0mm.

What is the bolt shearing function for?

The bolt shearing function is used to cleanly cut bolts of specific sizes (2.6mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, 4.0mm, and 5.0mm) without the need for a separate bolt cutter.

What material is the tool made from?

The tool is made from heavy gauge carbon steel that is hardened, tempered, and chemically blacked for durability and corrosion resistance.

Is this tool suitable for professional use?

Yes, the Draper Range is their standard product suitable for trade and enthusiast use, manufactured with quality in mind and backed by a Lifetime Guarantee.

How should I clean and maintain the tool?

Wipe the tool clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Periodically lubricate the pivot joint with light oil. Store in a dry environment.

Troubleshooting

Crimping feels loose or weak

Ensure you are using the correct die size for the terminal and wire gauge. Check that the terminal is fully seated in the crimping jaws. Verify the wire is properly stripped and inserted into the terminal.

Wire stripping is not clean

Confirm the wire gauge is within the tool's stripping range (0.75-6.0mm). Ensure the wire is aligned correctly within the stripping jaws. Avoid twisting the wire excessively while stripping.

Bolt shearing is difficult

Verify the bolt size is within the tool's shearing capacity (2.6-5.0mm). Ensure the bolt is correctly positioned in the shearing jaws. Do not force the tool if the bolt does not shear cleanly.

Tool feels stiff or hard to operate

Clean any debris from the pivot point and jaws. Apply a small amount of lubricating oil to the pivot. Work the handles back and forth to distribute the oil.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Multi-functional tool reduces the need for multiple tools.
  • Durable construction with hardened and tempered carbon steel.
  • Comfortable grip handles for prolonged use.
  • Suitable for both insulated and non-insulated terminal crimping.
  • Includes useful bolt shearing and wire stripping functions.

Cons

  • May be over-specced for very light, infrequent DIY tasks.
  • Specific terminal and wire gauges may require precise alignment.
  • Chemical blacking may wear over time with heavy use.
  • No specific mechanism for testing crimp quality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • Terminals: Designed for insulated terminals (1.5mm red, 2.5mm blue, 6.0mm yellow) and non-insulated terminals (1.5mm, 2.5mm, 4.0mm, 6.0mm).
  • Wire Stripping: Compatible with wire gauges 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5, 4.0, and 6.0mm.
  • Bolts: Suitable for shearing bolts sized 2.6, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and 5.0mm.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the tool clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove debris. Avoid using harsh solvents.
  • Lubrication: Periodically apply a light oil to the pivot joint to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
  • Storage: Store in a dry environment, preferably in a tool roll or toolbox, to protect the carbon steel finish and prevent damage.
