Overview

The Panduit CT-2300/UK BlackFin® Battery Powered Micro-Crimping Tool delivers unmatched speed, precision, and ergonomics for professional wire termination. Powered by a 10.8V, 1.5Ah Li-ion battery, this tool crimps 65% faster than manual crimpers thanks to its innovative trigger with power sensing technology. The 4.7" (120mm) jaw exerts 1.7 tons of force, enabling reliable crimps on #22–10 AWG terminals, #26–10 AWG single wire ferrules, #22–12 AWG twin wire ferrules, and #14–10 AWG copper lugs. Designed for operator comfort, the lightweight, ergonomic tool reduces hand strain and injury risk with minimal force required. The rotating flip-top crimp head (350° rotation) allows quick die changes and access to tight spaces. A 2-stage hydraulic system ensures rapid advance and a 3–6 second crimp cycle time, while automatic retraction prevents over-crimping. The multi-function LED provides maintenance alerts, battery charge status, and data transmission via USB adapter. Included with the CT-2300/UK are one 10.8V Li-ion battery, a UK 230V battery charger (Type G plug), and a molded carrying case. Note: Crimp dies (Panduit CD-525, CD-550, CD-570, CD-090) are sold separately. Ideal for electrical contractors, panel builders, and industrial maintenance teams requiring fast, consistent terminations in high-volume applications.
