Manual Ratchet Crimper for 5-16 AWG

The Westward 13H899 is a manual crimping tool built for non-insulated connectors and terminals. Its ratchet mechanism delivers consistent pressure across wire sizes from 5 AWG to 16 AWG. The tool measures 11 1/4 inches in length and operates without integrated wire cutting or stripping functions. It is designed for electricians and technicians terminating uninsulated terminals in panel work or field repairs.

Suited for fixed-location and field termination

This crimper suits professionals who need repeatable crimps on non-insulated terminals within the stated wire range. It is not for users who require an integrated wire cutter or stripper in the same tool. Buyers needing to crimp insulated connectors should verify compatibility separately. The tool also lacks a tether-ready attachment point for drop-prevention systems.

Crimps 5 AWG through 16 AWG non-insulated terminals

The decisive specification is the crimping capacity covering 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 AWG for non-insulated connector types. This range determines whether the tool matches the wire gauges used in a given application. California Proposition 65 notices apply to this product.

Questions about this item

How do I set the 5 to 16 AWG ratchet crimper for the correct wire gauge, and what step do people often miss?

Select the die nest that matches your wire size, insert the non-insulated terminal fully, then squeeze the handles until the ratchet releases automatically; the step often missed is confirming the terminal seats completely before crimping.

What maintenance will the 13H899 ratchet crimping tool need over time?

Keep the pivot and ratchet mechanism clean, apply light machine oil occasionally, and inspect the die faces for wear or deformation; no internal parts are user-serviceable.

What is the first limit I will hit when using this 11 1/4 in manual crimper continuously?

Hand fatigue from repeated high-force cycles on larger gauges such as 5 AWG is the practical limit; the tool has no rated maximum crimping force or duty cycle.
