Klein Tools T1715 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Klein Tools T1715 crimper handle?
The T1715 crimps insulated terminals in three ranges, one per cavity: 22-16 AWG in the front cavity, 16-14 AWG in the middle, and 12-10 AWG in the rear. The cavities carry color-coded wire size markings, so you match the terminal's insulation color to the die rather than guessing.
2) Can I use the Klein T1715 crimper on live circuits?
No. The T1715 is not an insulated tool. The plastic-dipped handles are for grip comfort only and give no protection against electrical shock, so the circuit has to be de-energized before you work. If you need shock protection, you need a tool rated and marked as insulated, not this one.
3) Will the T1715 crimp non-insulated terminals or ferrules?
It is built for insulated terminals, the vinyl or nylon barrel type in 22-16, 16-14 and 12-10 AWG. Non-insulated open-barrel terminals and wire ferrules use a different die profile and want a dedicated crimper. Using this one on them will not give a proper crimp.
4) What does full cycle ratcheting mean on this Klein crimper?
The ratchet holds the jaws closed until the crimp stroke is completed, then releases. You cannot pull the tool off part way through, which is what keeps every terminal on a panel or fixture whip crimped the same. The compound lever action on the narrow-span handles also means less hand force per squeeze, which matters on a long run of terminations.
5) Is the Klein T1715 made in the USA?
Yes, the T1715 is made in the USA, which matters for buyers working to domestic-preference procurement rules. The orderable part number is T1715 with black comfort-grip handles.
