Wychwood Crimping Plier Tool

The tool comes with 0.6mm, 0.7mm, and 0.9mm crimps, suitable for a range of hooklink and leader materials.

Select a crimp size that closely matches the diameter of your hooklink or leader material. The crimp should hold the line securely without crushing or damaging it.

Yes, but this tool is specifically designed for carp fishing rigs. The effectiveness of the tool depends on using crimps to create connections.

Rinse the tool with fresh water after each use and store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Check the jaws periodically for wear.

If a crimp fails, cut off the old crimp and line, then re-crimp the connection. Ensure you're using the correct technique and crimp size.

Yes, the tool is compatible with braided lines, but ensure you are using crimps designed for braided lines, and the correct sized crimps.

Crimping allows for the creation of rigs to the perfect length without tying knots. It reduces line damage associated with tightening down knots in heavy lines, and provides a stronger connection.

Ensure the correct crimp size is used for the line diameter and that the crimping tool is fully closed. Re-crimp if necessary.

Make sure the crimp is centered in the jaws. Avoid over-crimping, which can damage the line. If damage is observed, cut and re-crimp with a new section of line.

Ensure a clean cut by closing the side cutter completely. Apply more pressure if necessary, but be careful not to damage the tool.
