OTC's CrimPro 4-in-1 Angled Wire Tool, No. 5950A

The OTC CrimPro 4-in-1 Angled Wire Tool, No. 5950A, combines four separate tools into one convenient configuration for common wire repairs technicians experience every day. Simplify wire repair in hard-to-reach places with the ability to pull or twist wires, cut, strip or crimp from any angle. When wire service is compromised by limited access, CrimPro’s angled feature, unique to OTC, allows access to close quarters and facilitates superior crimps. The universal crimping design accommodates 12-20 AWG for both insulated and non-insulated connectors, with custom gripping teeth that pull or twist wires. Cushioned grips improve dexterity, and the compact 7" size is easy to store. Service applications include wiring harnesses, trailer lights and fixing broken wires anywhere. The 5950A CrimPro’s design keeps the connector, the wire and the crimper "in-line" - improving visibility and access in hard-to-reach places.
