Klein Tools 1005 Crimping Cutting Tool Connectors

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 1005 is a combination crimping and cutting tool designed for use with non-insulated and insulated terminals and connectors. Built from hardened steel, it delivers reliable mechanical crimps and clean wire cuts in a single hand tool. The tapered nose design allows access to tight spaces and confined panel areas where standard-profile pliers cannot reach. A specially hardened wire cutter integrated into the nose handles cutting tasks without requiring a separate tool. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and panel installers commonly carry this tool for terminal work on control wiring, panel connections, and field splices.

The 1005 is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work wherever non-insulated and insulated connectors are applied. Typical install scenarios include control panel wiring, motor terminations, and general connector work during new construction or service calls. The 9-3/4 inch overall length gives enough leverage for consistent crimps while keeping the tool manageable in a tool pouch or bag.

Key Features

• Crimps non-insulated and insulated terminals and connectors in a single tool
• Tapered nose profile for access in confined spaces and tight panel enclosures
• Specially hardened wire cutter integrated into the nose for cutting without a separate tool
• Hardened steel construction for long service life under regular field use
• 9-3/4 inch overall length balances reach and leverage for one-handed operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hand tool for use with standard non-insulated and insulated electrical terminals and connectors in residential and light commercial wiring applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians during panel work and field wiring. De-energize all circuits before crimping or cutting conductors, and verify the connector size matches the conductor gauge before applying the crimp. Work in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for termination methods and connector ratings. Inspect the crimping jaws periodically for wear that could result in incomplete crimps.
