Precision Ratchet Crimping Pliers Model 58B (Red) Why you need it These pliers deliver consistent, repeatable crimps for FUTABA and JR servo connectors. The precision ratchet mechanism ensures each crimp is made with controlled pressure, reducing poor connections and minimizing damage to delicate servo wires. The included silicone wire balance head helps protect insulation and holds wires steady during crimping for cleaner results. Key benefits Consistent crimps: Precision ratchet mechanism provides uniform pressure and reliable connections every time. Designed for servo work: Specifically suited for FUTABA/JR servo connectors and related servo lead applications. Wire protection: Silicone wire balance head stabilizes and cushions wires during crimping to avoid cuts or deformation. Easy to use: Ratchet action locks during the crimp cycle and releases only after a complete crimp, reducing user error. Distinctive finish: Red color makes the tool easy to locate in a crowded workbench or toolbox. Main features and attributes Model: 58B Functionality: Ratchet crimping pliers designed for precise, repeatable crimps on servo connectors. Compatibility: Intended for use with FUTABA and JR servo connectors and related servo lead assemblies. Material detail: Includes a silicone wire balance head for gentle wire handling during crimping. Size/handling: Hand tool format suitable for bench or field use with servo wiring tasks. Performance: precision ratchet mechanism delivers consistent crimp force and minimizes incomplete crimps. Use cases and applications RC model assembly: Crimp FUTABA and JR servo leads when installing servos in aircraft, cars, or boats to ensure secure electrical connections. Servo and maintenance: or recrimp damaged servo wires and connectors during field repairs or routine maintenance. Custom cable work: Build or modify servo extension leads and Ycables where consistent crimp quality is required. How it solves common problems Poor or inconsistent crimps can cause intermittent connections, servo jitter, or complete signal loss. The ratchet mechanism on the 58B enforces a complete, uniform crimp cycle, while the silicone wire balance head reduces insulation damage and keeps conductors aligned. Together these features reduce rework and increase reliability of servo connections. Practical tips Use with connectors and wire types recommended for FUTABA/JR servo systems. Ensure the wire is positioned and supported by the silicone head before activating the ratchet. Complete the full ratchet cycle before releasing to achieve a proper crimp. This tool is intended for technicians, hobbyists, and anyone working with FUTABA and JR servo connectors who requires dependable, repeatable crimp performance in a compact, easytouse package.
