Manual coax crimper for F, BNC and RCA
The Westward 13H880 is a ratchet-style hand tool built for electricians and low-voltage installers who terminate coaxial cable on site. It accepts F, BNC and RCA connectors on RG-59 and RG-6 cables without needing a separate die set. The deluxe cushion grip reduces fatigue during repetitive crimping tasks. This tool is not suited for buyers who need insulated handles or a tether-ready attachment point.
Fits into a toolkit without power or dies
The crimper operates entirely by hand, so it requires no battery, compressor or electrical outlet at the job site. Its fixed die profile handles the two most common coaxial sizes, freeing the technician from carrying interchangeable die sets. The ratchet mechanism ensures a full-cycle crimp before release, reducing the chance of incomplete connections. Builders who need an integrated wire cutter or stripper will have to add those tools separately.
California Proposition 65 notice included
The supplied documentation flags the presence of a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. This notice is a regulatory requirement and does not alter the mechanical function of the crimper. No additional accessories, software or calibration certificates are bundled with the tool. Installers who require non-sparking or insulated tools for hazardous environments must source a different model.

Questions about this item
How much force can the Westward 13H880 ratchet crimper apply before it stops tightening?
The maximum crimping force is not rated by the manufacturer, so the tool relies on the ratchet mechanism to complete each cycle rather than a measurable force limit.
What happens to grip comfort and hand fatigue when the 7 5/8 in crimper is used continuously for hours?
The deluxe cushion grips are designed to reduce pressure on the palm during repetitive cycles, but the tool has no insulated or non-sparking features that would change heat buildup in the handles.
Which coaxial cable types must I have on hand for the 13H880 to crimp F, BNC and RCA connectors?
The crimper is compatible with RG59 and RG6 cables, so you need one of those two cable types to terminate the supported connectors.
