FAQs
Can I use this for stainless steel sleeves?
No, this tool is specifically designed for copper and aluminum sleeves. Using it on harder metals like stainless steel can damage the hardened jaws.
What is the weight capacity of lines this tool supports?
This tool is effective for fishing lines and wires rated between 50 lbs and 450 lbs.
How do I maintain the black oxidation finish?
Keep the tool clean and dry after use. Applying a thin layer of machine oil after contact with saltwater will help preserve the finish.
Is the cutter meant for heavy steel cable?
The integrated cutters are designed for fishing wire rope and monofilament. They should not be used on hardened steel cables or thick electrical wires.
Does the tool come with a warranty?
IWISS provides professional-grade quality assurance for their tools. Please refer to your original purchase receipt or dealer documentation for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Crimped sleeve is loose or slips
Ensure you are using the correct crimp position for the sleeve size; if the sleeve remains loose, check if the sleeve material is compatible with the tool.
Tool feels stiff or does not open fully
Apply a small amount of machine oil to the pivot point and work the handle manually to distribute the lubricant.
Surface rust appearing on jaws
Clean the affected area with a light abrasive pad or steel wool, then immediately coat with anti-corrosion oil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your iCrimp tool, it is essential to follow basic maintenance procedures. Before your first use, check the jaw alignment by closing the tool slowly without a sleeve. Compatibility is limited to copper and aluminum sleeves; do not attempt to crimp stainless steel sleeves as this may damage the hardened carbon steel jaws.
After exposure to saltwater, rinse the tool thoroughly with fresh water and dry it completely before applying a light coat of machine oil to the pivot point and jaws. Always engage the safety lock when storing the tool in a tackle bag to prevent accidental damage to the jaws or surrounding gear. Keep the tool clean of salt buildup and debris to maintain the integrity of the oxidation coating.
