KNIPEX 97 53 19 Twistor® T self-adjusting crimping pliers – rotatable die head, 0.14–10 mm², 200 mm

KNIPEX 97 53 19 crimping pliers are designed for consistent wire ferrule crimping, with a rotatable die head to help you work comfortably in tight panels and awkward orientations. The Twistor® T design locks into multiple positions, so you can crimp from almost any working angle while keeping the tool aligned and controlled.

Model 97 53 19 uses an automatic adjustment system for different conductor cross-sections, helping reduce set-up time and supporting repeatable results. A ratchet mechanism and toggle lever assist the crimping process, making this a practical choice for electricians and installers who crimp ferrules regularly.
