The CAT-HT-179-2030-13 is a straight action Hand Tool for use with CC79 series contacts. It features fixed die (crimper), movable die (anvil), locator and ratchet. The locator positions the contact and limits the insertion distance of the stripped wire into the contact. The ratchet assures full crimping of the contact. Once engaged, the ratchet will not release until the dies have been fully closed.
