Reliable Crimping and Cable Preparation for Electrical Installations
Electrical installation work frequently requires conductors to be cut, stripped and terminated before they can be connected to electrical equipment. The Partex CT1 Economy Multi Crimp Strip Tool combines these operations in a single hand tool, helping simplify routine wiring tasks and reduce the need to switch between separate cutting, stripping and crimping tools.
The CT1 is particularly useful when preparing cables for red, blue and yellow insulated crimp terminals, including compatible ring terminals, fork terminals, spade connectors and butt connectors. Its stripping positions accommodate common conductor sizes from 0.75–6 mm², while the integrated bolt cutter supports five small metric thread sizes. The steel construction and practical multi-purpose layout make it suitable for general electrical assembly, equipment servicing and maintenance applications. Correct crimp profiles and terminal compatibility should always be checked before use.
Typical Applications
- Crimping red, blue and yellow pre-insulated electrical terminals.
- Crimping compatible non-insulated terminals.
- Stripping insulation from electrical conductors between 0.75–6 mm².
