Manual, ergonomic crimping tools
Features of manual, ergonomic crimping tools
- More lightweighted than complete steel crimpers (overall weight 25-30% less).
- Glass-filled plastic body with reinforced handles are more comfortable, as the lightweight plastic handles reduce arm strain.
- Ergonomically designed handles that conform to natural hand shape
- Adjustment of the crimping pressure by a knob on the crimping head that is easily accessible and well visible. Crimp setting doesn’t need any further fixation.
- Decappers don’t need any adjustment
- Activated by bottom handle motion only which allows a steadier and safer hold of the tool during crimping
- Due to design and alignment of the crimping head better vertical clearance over the vial
- Brand and product identification on the front label of the tool
- Stand available for easy storage
Adjustment and handling
The adjustment knob, which sets the stroke of the tool and thus the tightness of the crimp, is conveniently positioned on top of the crimping head. The easily-viewed knob clearly displays + and – symbols along with directional arrows, in order to simplify adjusting the level of crimp desired. During the crimping process, in which the bottom handle is pulled up, the adjustment knob moves towards the crimper body. Once the knob touches the head, the crimp setting has been reached and the crimping process stops.
