Ratchet Crimper for Insulated Terminals
The Westward 13H896 is a manual ratchet crimper designed to terminate insulated terminals on wire sizes from 10 to 20 AWG. Its ratchet mechanism ensures a complete crimp cycle before release for consistent connections. An ergonomic moulded handle with ridged grip reduces hand fatigue and prevents slippage during repetitive use.
Suited for Electrical Maintenance and Assembly
This tool fits electricians, technicians and DIY users who need reliable crimping of insulated terminals in the 10 to 20 AWG range. The ambidextrous design works for both right and left handed operators. Buyers who need to crimp non insulated terminals, open barrel contacts or wire gauges outside the stated range should look at a different tool specification.
10 to 20 AWG Crimp Capacity
The decisive specification is the crimper's ability to accept wire and cable from 10 to 20 AWG for insulated terminals. This range determines whether the tool matches the wire sizes used in a given application. Verify the terminal type and wire gauge before purchase to ensure compatibility.

Questions about this item
How many crimp cycles can the ratchet mechanism sustain before it stops releasing cleanly?
The ratchet is designed to release only after a full crimp cycle on 10 to 20 AWG insulated terminals, preventing partial crimps that cause rework.
Does the handle material stay comfortable and non-slip when the tool is used continuously for hours?
The ergonomic moulded grip with ridges resists slippage and reduces hand fatigue during extended crimping sessions.
What terminal type and wire range must I already have on hand for this crimper to work?
You need insulated terminals sized for 10 through 20 AWG wire; the tool will not crimp uninsulated or out-of-range connectors.
