Dieless crimping range
The Greenlee KP1022-INS is a dieless crimper built for solid and stranded wire from 22 to 10 AWG. Its 9 3/4 in length allows single-handed operation on the job site. Molded two-layer insulation on the handles resists flame and impact while orange safety guards shield hands from cuts and sparks. The tool meets California Proposition 65 labelling requirements.
Electricians needing a compact crimper
Suits professionals who want one tool to terminate a wide span of small-gauge wire without swapping dies. Not suited for installers who must crimp terminals larger than 10 AWG or who require a ratcheting mechanism for repeatable force control. Buyers needing insulated-terminal crimping beyond the stated range should look at larger-frame tools.
22 to 10 AWG capacity
The single specification that decides fit is the wire-range capability of 22 to 10 AWG. Verify that every connector you plan to terminate falls inside this window before purchasing.

Questions about this item
What comes with the Greenlee KP1022-INS and do I need separate dies?
The crimper ships as a single 9 3/4 inch hand tool with molded orange handles and built-in hand guards; no separate dies are required because the jaws are dieless.
Which wire sizes does the KP1022-INS cover so I know if it fits my job?
It strips and crimps solid or stranded wire from 22 AWG up to 10 AWG, covering the range most residential and light-commercial electricians encounter daily.
How does the dieless design change the crimp quality on 10 AWG compared with a traditional die tool?
The fixed-profile jaws apply even pressure across the connector barrel, giving a consistent gas-tight crimp on 10 AWG without swapping dies or adjusting settings.
