Ideal Industries C24 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which Buchanan connectors does the Ideal C24 crimp tool work with?
The Ideal Industries C24 four-way crimp tool is built for Buchanan 2006S and 2011S crimp connectors. Fingertip adjustment switches the tool between those two connector sizes, so one tool covers both without swapping dies. If the connectors on your job are a different Buchanan series, this is not the tool for them.
2) Is the Ideal C24 a general-purpose electrical crimper for terminals and lugs?
No. The C24 is a dedicated tool for Buchanan 2006S and 2011S crimp connectors, not a general crimper for ring terminals, spade terminals, or lugs. If you are crimping insulated or non-insulated terminals, you want a standard terminal crimper instead; buy the C24 when the spec calls for Buchanan crimp splices.
3) How does the C24 crimp tool get an even crimp on a Buchanan connector?
Spring-loaded, cam-actuated plungers do the work. The cam drives the plungers so compression is applied evenly across the connector rather than pinching one side, which is what keeps the splice consistent from crimp to crimp on a long pull of connections.
4) Do I need to buy separate dies or a second tool for the two Buchanan connector sizes?
No. Adjustment for the two connector sizes is built in and done by fingertip, so there are no loose dies to carry, lose, or change out mid-job. That is the point of the C24 for a service van or a contractor's tool kit, one tool covering both the 2006S and the 2011S.
5) What does "four-way" mean on the Ideal C24 crimp tool?
Four-way refers to the crimp pattern the tool applies to the connector barrel, compressing from four points instead of a single indent. For an electrician doing service work or industrial maintenance with Buchanan 2006S and 2011S connectors, that is the crimp geometry the connector is designed around.
6) What part number do I order for the Ideal Buchanan crimp tool?
Order it as Ideal Industries C24. That is the manufacturer part number and the only model in the family, so there are no size or finish options to specify when placing the order.
