This 10-inch tool is C/US UL Listed and manufactured in Taiwan, giving electricians a compact, code-recognized option for field crimping work. Its small size and light weight make it easy to carry in a tool pouch while still delivering a full-cycle crimp mechanism that ensures a complete, reliable connection every time.
Key Features
- Compact Size: At 10 inches overall, the K111's small size and light weight make it an ideal tool for crimping small lugs and splices in tight working conditions.
- Crimping Capacity: Designed for 8-1 AWG copper color coded connectors, covering common lug and splice sizes used in electrical and low-voltage installations.

- Portable Design: The tool's compact footprint allows it to easily fit in tool pouches, making it convenient to carry on the job site or in a service van.
- Mid-Cycle Adjustment: The jaws can be opened in mid-cycle if necessary, allowing the connector to be repositioned or adjusted without wasting the crimp.

Greenlee K111 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes will the Greenlee K111 crimp tool handle?
The K111 crimps 8 through 1 AWG copper color coded connectors, which covers the common small lug and splice sizes used in panel and terminal wiring. If your connectors are smaller than 8 AWG or larger than 1 AWG, this is not the right tool for them.
2) Is the Greenlee K111 UL Listed for electrical work?
Yes, the K111 carries a cULus (C/US UL) Listing, so it is recognized for both US and Canadian work. That matters on jobs where the inspector or the spec calls for a listed crimping tool rather than a generic plier.
3) Does this Greenlee crimper ratchet, or can I release it part way through a crimp?
It uses a full-cycle ratchet mechanism, so the jaws will not release until the crimp is completed, which is what prevents under-crimped terminations. If you set a connector in wrong, the jaws can still be opened mid-cycle to reposition it rather than ruining the lug.
4) Will a K111 crimper fit in a tool pouch?
At 10 inches overall it is one of the smaller ratcheting crimpers, and the light weight and compact footprint are the reason it is specified for pouch carry and tight panel work. Wide grips are molded into the handles for repeat crimping through a long day.
5) Can I use the Greenlee K111 on insulated or non-insulated terminals of other types?
The K111 is built around copper color coded connectors in the 8 to 1 AWG range. For other terminal families, such as uninsulated lugs requiring a specific die profile or compression connectors, you want a die-based or dieless compression tool instead of this hand crimper.
6) What is the exact part number and who makes the K111?
It is Greenlee part number K111, a packaged crimp tool manufactured in Taiwan. Order by K111 to get the 8-1 AWG copper color coded connector version.
7) Is the K111 suitable for an MRO crew doing service and repair calls?
Yes. The K111 is aimed at field service and maintenance work, commercial and residential repairs, and copper color coded connector installation, and its listed status plus small size make it a practical standard issue for a service van or a facilities cart.
