Klein Tools 1006 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Klein Tools 1006 crimp insulated wire terminals, or only non-insulated?
The Klein 1006 is built for non-insulated solderless terminals and connectors only, 10 to 22 AWG. Insulated terminals use a different jaw profile (color-coded nests that compress the barrel without cutting the plastic sleeve), so running them through this tool risks splitting the insulation. If your crimps are the red/blue/yellow insulated type, you want a dedicated insulated-terminal crimper instead.
2) Can I use the Klein 1006 on live circuits?
No. The 1006 is not an insulated tool. The plastic-dipped cushioned handles are there for grip and comfort, not shock protection, so de-energize the circuit before you work. Eye protection is called for as well, since cut wire ends can fly.
3) Does the Klein 1006 cut wire too, or do I need separate cutters in the pouch?
It cuts. There's a hardened wire cutter built into the nose, rated the same 10 to 22 AWG range as the crimper, so one tool handles trimming the conductor and crimping the terminal on small-gauge control and fixture work. For larger building wire you'll still need a full-size cutter.
4) Will the Klein 1006 fit inside a crowded junction box or panel gutter?
The nose is tapered specifically for confined spaces, and the tool measures 9.6 inches (24.4 cm) overall at about 1.88 inches wide and 1 inch thick. That gives you reach into a box while keeping the working end slim. Weight is 0.85 lbs, light enough to carry on the belt all day.
5) Will the Klein 1006 crimp 8 AWG lugs?
No. Its working range stops at 10 AWG on the heavy end and 22 AWG on the light end, for non-insulated terminals and connectors. Anything larger than 10 AWG needs a heavier lug crimper, typically a hydraulic or ratcheting die tool.
6) Is the Klein 1006 crimper durable enough for daily MRO and maintenance use?
The frame is forged steel with steel jaws and a hot-riveted joint, which is what keeps the handles from developing wobble after repeated cycles. It's made in the USA. For maintenance crews standardizing a tool for terminal work on 10-22 AWG, that joint construction is the part that decides service life.
