All-in-One Crimper for RJ Connectors

The Westward 13H873 is a manual snagless crimper built for terminating RJ-11, RJ-12 and RJ-45 connectors. Its deluxe cushion grip reduces hand fatigue during repetitive wiring tasks. An integrated wire stripper prepares cables without needing a separate tool. This new electrician tool arrives ready for field or bench use.

Suited for Structured Cabling Installers

Technicians running voice and data drops will appreciate the all-in-one design that strips and crimps in a single hand tool. The snagless profile prevents the connector latch from catching on adjacent cables during pulls. Users who require insulated handles for live-circuit safety or a tether-ready attachment point for working at height should select a different model.

Snagless Jaw Design Protects Connector Latches

The defining specification is the snagless crimper style, which shields the fragile latch on RJ-11, RJ-12 and RJ-45 plugs during crimping and subsequent cable routing. This feature directly reduces re-termination rates caused by broken tabs. The tool measures 7 1/4 in overall and operates with manual adjustability for consistent compression.
