Overview

The Panduit CT-1701 Controlled Cycle Crimp Tool (SKU: CT-1701) delivers precise, repeatable crimps for large-gauge wire terminations with its controlled-cycle ratchet mechanism. Engineered for electricians and maintenance professionals, this manual crimping tool features a 6.2-ton force capacity and a quad-point indent crimping system with a patented centering mechanism, eliminating the need for dies. The 360-degree rotating die wheel houses multiple die pockets, while a push-button lockout enables quick die changes for versatility across terminal types and wire gauges. The ergonomic polypropylene handles provide chemical resistance and a cushioned, non-slip grip to reduce operator fatigue during extended use. The CT-1701 is specifically designed to crimp Panduit No. 10–2 AWG non-insulated ring terminals, No. 12–4 AWG heavy-duty ring terminals, and No. 14–10 AWG copper code conductor lugs. Its lightweight aluminum housing and closed-head bolt interlock design enhance durability and safety. The tool’s automatic retraction and audible 'pop-off' valve confirm crimp completion, ensuring consistent, high-quality terminations. Ideal for applications requiring UL Listed and CSA Certified connections, the CT-1701 minimizes connector inventory and reduces costs by accommodating a range of Panduit terminals and lugs.
