What happens here

Carefully position the crimp sleeve, with the high tensile wire ends inside, into the "Strainrite" head of the "Infaco Crimp Tool". Once properly seated, actuate the tool to initiate the crimping process. Observe as the crimp sleeve deforms, elongating and adhering tightly to the wire, thereby forming a strong and permanent connection.

Goal: Securely join the high tensile wire using the crimp tool

Tools and materials

  • Crimp Sleeve with Wire — The assembly being crimped
  • Infaco Crimp Tool Infaco — To apply pressure and deform the crimp sleeve
  • Strainrite Head Strainrite — The specific part of the tool that shapes the crimp

What they say

Hide

to take a set of hightensil wire, 12 1/2 gauge, and we're going to crimp it together and show you what a crimp looks like and how strong it is. So, what you do is you're going to stick this head in and you're going to crimp down. And as you go through here, this is actually going to elongate. And what this is doing is it's adhering to the wire. as it aderes to the wire, um, it's actually attaching. And now this crimp actually has the same breaking strength as the wire. So when it takes an impact from an animal, um, a tree, anything like that,
