PITTSBURGH 9-1/2 in. Wire Crimping Tool

PITTSBURGH 9-1/2 in. Heavy-Duty Wire Crimping Tool

Ensure rock-solid, weather-sealed electrical splices with the PITTSBURGH 9-1/2 in. Wire Crimping Tool. Specially suited for field-terminating heat trace bus wires, cold-lead splices, and grounding braids, this tool provides the high-leverage mechanical force necessary to create permanent, low-resistance crimps inside outdoor junction boxes and de-icing enclosures.

Forged from drop-treated carbon steel with a polished, rust-resistant finish, this 9-1/2-inch crimper delivers the extra leverage required to fully collapse heavy copper crimp barrels without hand fatigue. Whether installing power connection kits on rooflines or completing in-line heat cable repairs on cold mechanical runs, its oil-resistant grips ensure total control in wet, freezing outdoor conditions.

Highlights for Heat Cable & Trace Installations

• High-Leverage Compression: The extended 9-1/2-inch handle design maximizes hand leverage, ensuring uninsulated and insulated barrel connectors compress completely around stranded bus wires and cold leads.

• Cold-Lead & Splice Kit Compatibility: Delivers deep, uniform mechanical crimps on butt splices, ring terminals, and grounding lugs to prevent loose connections, arcing, and nuisance GFCI trips.

• All-Weather Non-Slip Grip: Features ergonomic, oil-resistant vinyl grips that remain flexible and slip-resistant even in sub-freezing installation environments.

• Forged Carbon Steel Construction: Built with heavy-duty drop-forged carbon steel and a corrosion-resistant polished finish to withstand roof moisture, meltwater, and jobsite wear.

• Slim Head Profile: Tapered nose reaches easily into compact NEMA 4X power connection boxes, gutter splice enclosures, and crowded control cabinets.
