Ancor Angled 26-10 AWG Double Crimp Ratcheting Crimper

The Ancor Angled 26-10 AWG Double Crimp Ratcheting Crimper handles nylon and vinyl terminals needing both conductor and insulation support.

Double crimp means the tool compresses the conductor barrel and the insulation grip in one action. That second crimp is what gives a nylon or vinyl terminal its strain relief. Crimping only the conductor leaves the wire free to flex at the barrel, and it eventually breaks there.

Twenty-six to 10 AWG reaches smaller wire than the heat-shrink crimper does, covering fine instrument and signal conductors. Small wire is where a proper tool matters most, since 26 gauge is easy to cut through with a poorly sized die.

The self-releasing ratchet keeps the tool engaged until the crimp cycle finishes, giving repeatable results. The angled head improves access around electrical panels and in confined spaces where a straight tool cannot be squared up to the terminal. Explore more wire tools and crimpers.

• Double crimp secures conductor and insulation together
• Without it the wire flexes at the barrel and breaks
• Reaches 26 AWG, finer than the heat-shrink tool
• 26 gauge is easy to cut with a wrong-sized die
