HS-2546B Open Barrel Crimping Tool

As Makers in the marvellous modern world, we have the greatest privileged of finding hundreds of different tools for thousands of different applications for building and customising our unique project ideas. Whether you are building a 3D Printer, CNC Machine, or tinkering with Electronics, certain handy tools are great to have in reach around your workshop where the real magic takes place. We are eager to expand our range of hand tools and accessories to help you with every small and big task in your Making journey. These HS-2546B Open Barrel Crimping Pliers are particularly useful for working with GT2 Belts and Crimp Terminals while building and maintaining your hobby projects.

The HS-2546B Crimping Tool is just one of many awesome Hand Tools that allow you to create your own customised cables, grip bushings onto the ends of your GT2 Belt and use them for more wide applications. With three teeth with a die width of 2.5mm, 4mm and 6mm, the HS-2546B Crimping Tool is compatible with common 6mm and 10mm brass bushings. A ratchet self-releasing mechanism in the handle helps you easily control the power of your plier’s grip, by locking it in place while you thread your wires into the correct position. This makes connector crimping as simple as soldering, with specialised dies that manhandle matching little pieces of metal perfectly, allowing you to crimp over the ends of wires so that you can utilise whatever Connectors & Wiring your project needs.

Furthermore, these crimping tools are great for repairs and maintenance. You may already know just how frustrating it can be to try and repair a broken LiPo battery cable or fix up a faulty JST connector without the proper tools, but with these HS-2546B Crimpers and other sizes of Crimping Pliers on hand, this small disaster is no longer a problem. You can simply cut off the previous connector, strip the wire ends, crimp on some new barrels, and then conveniently insert them into a fresh new connector for effective power or signal delivery.

Please Note: If you are working with particularly small connectors, we recommend taking a look at our AWISS Mini Crimping Tool.

Typical Applications for HS-2546B Open Barrel Crimping Pliers:

Although it may seem tricky at first try, crimping connectors is actually quite an easy task once you’ve got the knack. So, take some time to check out a few videos to get a basic idea, and then don’t be scared to just experiment and practice on a few wires. These HS-2546B Crimping Pliers offer a design with a few larger dies than the other Mini Hobbyist Crimping Tool we stock. These larger teeth allow you to crimp brass bushing onto timing belts such as the endcaps you may find on GT2 belts that require a 6mm or 10mm brass bushing. Of course, this is not the other use for them. Crimping pliers are such a versatile tool that you may find comes in handy with many barrels and clips that fit its 2.5mm, 4mm, and 6mm crimping teeth. So, consider getting yourself a set of HS-2546B Crimping Pliers to open up new possibilities for your electronics projects, as these offer an excellent level of quality for a really affordable price, and can save you a lot of time, hassle and wasted parts compared to trying to crimp with plain pliers or other techniques.
