Unlike standard crimpers, a ratchet crimping tool locks in place until the correct pressure is applied, ensuring each crimp is completed to a uniform standard. This helps prevent under- or over-crimping, improving the safety and reliability of your connections.

Yes. Occasionally apply light machine oil to the pivot points and keep the jaws clean of debris. This ensures smooth operation and long tool life. If the ratchet tension feels loose, most tools include an adjustment screw for calibration.

A Solar MC4 Ratchet Crimping Tool is designed to crimp MC4 solar connectors onto solar cables ranging from 2.5mm² to 6mm². It ensures a precise, secure connection between your solar panels and the rest of your power system.

This tool is specifically designed for MC4-style solar connectors, but some models include interchangeable dies that can crimp other solar or DC connector types. Always check your tool’s specifications before use.

It’s suitable for 2.5mm², 4mm², and 6mm² solar cables, covering the most common sizes used in residential, caravan, and off-grid solar systems. Using the correct size ensures a tight, efficient electrical connection.

Strip the solar cable insulation, insert the bare wire and terminal pin into the correct die cavity, and squeeze the handles until the ratchet releases. The result is a strong, reliable crimp that locks the terminal to the cable.
