Robust tool steel for reliable connections
The high-quality pliers are made of tool steel. This steel is particularly well suited because it has a high hardness, high toughness and, most importantly, high wear resistance. In order for the tool steel to withstand all the rigors of your everyday life, the crimping pliers are coated. This coating ensures that the tool steel is even more robust and durable. In addition, the pliers are equipped with an ergonomic, non-slip handle.
What does the term crimping mean and where does the term crimping pliers come from?
Crimping is the English word for squeezing, which means connecting materials together by applying pressure. You can't apply the pressure that needs to be applied in order to securely join materials together without the use of a tool. For this reason, you need a reliable tool that redirects your muscle power in the best possible way to increase the force. The pliers that are used for this purpose bear the name of the application. This is where the term crimping pliers comes from.
What happens during crimping?
Crimping connects materials by forming and pressing. The basic technology is used in various technological fields, in electrical installations and, in a broader sense, even in agriculture or the food industry. One of the most common applications is making electrical connections. Especially in the fields of high-frequency technology and telecommunications, which require a large number of connectors, this connection method is indispensable. Due to the high pressure during crimping and the resulting connection, the two materials are pressed together and joined almost inseparably. No soldering or welding is required, yet a high degree of stability of the connection is guaranteed. Different connectors can be connected in this way, for example.
