DMC AF8 adjustable crimp tool
DMC AF8 adjustable crimp tool
The AF8 is specified to MIL-DTL-22520/1* and
has a limitless application within the wire
range of 12 through to 26 AWG.
Over a thousand turret heads are available to
adapt the tool frame to your specific military
or proprietary contact/wire combination. The 8
impression crimp, which is standard in the AF8,
assures absolute maximum tensile strength
with almost every closed barrel contact.
Special indent configurations and gauging are
available upon request.
For proper operation, the tool must be mated
with one of the following optional accessories:
a military standard or non-military turret head,
a military standard or non-military positioner,
or an adjustable head. This is done simply by
orienting the head in the keyed position, and
by tightening the hex socket screws provided
as part of the head.

The precision ratchet controls cycling of the
tool in both directions of handle movement.
This assures the same accurate crimp every
time.
Positive crimp depth is controlled by an 8
position selector knob conveniently located
on the tool frame. The operator simply dials
the desired step for the wire being used. This
setting can be secured by use of a locking pin
or safety wire.
The carefully engineered design achieves the
absolute maximum mechanical advantage and
the tool's light weight helps minimise operator
fatigue.
