Crimp height inspection is performed using a micrometer with a modified anvil, commonly referred to as a crimp-height comparator. TE Connectivity does not manufacture or market crimp height comparators. Detailed information on obtaining and using crimp-height comparators can be found in instruction sheet 408-7424.

408-35338 Adjusting the ratchet The ratchet is preset prior to shipment, but it is important to verify the crimp height using a micrometer or caliper. Use and wear can cause the tool to go out of adjustment. Inspect the crimp height and adjust the ratchet, if necessary, on a regular basis.
408-35338 Maintenance and inspection Maintenance Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean, soft brush or soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use objects that could damage the dies or tool. When the tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the dies.
