Ratcheting Crimper for 22-10 AWG Wire
The Klein Tools T1715 is a full-cycle ratcheting crimper built for electrical wire and cable. Its compound lever-action reduces the effort needed for each termination. The tool handles uninsulated terminals across a 22 to 10 AWG capacity. It is suited for electricians and technicians who need repeatable crimps without adjustable dies.
Thermals Noise and Power Draw
As a manual hand tool, the T1715 produces no operational heat and draws no electrical power. It operates silently during use, adding no acoustic load to the work environment. The cushioned grips remain comfortable during repetitive cycles. No external power source or cooling is required for normal operation.
Included Features and Markings
Color-coded wire size markings on the die help identify the correct crimp nest quickly. The fixed die set eliminates the need for replacement die codes or field adjustments. The tool does not cut or strip conductors, so separate preparation tools are necessary. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to materials used in this product.

Questions about this item
How do I install the T1715 ratcheting crimping tool and what step do people often miss?
The tool arrives fully assembled with no separate dies to fit. The step users miss is matching the wire gauge to the correct colour-coded cavity before squeezing the handles through the full ratchet cycle.
What maintenance or replacement will the T1715 crimping tool need later?
No replacement dies are coded for this model. Maintenance is limited to keeping the pivot points clean and lightly lubricated, and checking that the cushion grips remain intact.
What limit appears first on the T1715 during sustained crimping work?
The tool is rated for 22 to 10 AWG uninsulated terminals. The first limit is exceeding that wire-range, which prevents the ratchet from completing its full cycle and can damage the jaws.
