Product Description
The PL1R Metal Stud Crimper features a unique punch and die shape that creates a rectangular crimp connection by bending over layered thicknesses of channel and stud at one time to form a sturdy bond without the use of fasteners. The crimp is always the proper strength and resists stress from any angle. The tool fits inside the smallest stud and runner. Handles spring back after making a crimp so that punch is back in a ready position to go on to the next stud or fastening point. Lightweight and compact size allows the user to work overhead with ease. The tool body consists of a strong, die-cast aluminum "C" frame head and rust-resistant, nickel plated steel handles and parts stampings. The long-life punch and die are formed from tool steel and are also easily replaced on the job. The handle opening of Malco's REDLINE gripped tools maximizes the powerful leverage of compound head-to-handle linkage while providing a more comfortable operating range for your hand. Ergonomic handle contours with an over-molded, non-slip handle insert assures a natural fit and feel for the way you work. Easy one-hand-operation, including an easy open and close latch motion, always leaves a free hand to steady work piece.
