Manual and Power-Assisted Compression Tools Smart Tool Automatically compresses to the correct depth based on size of connector in jaws C-type head swivels 90º for easy crimp positioning Forged steel construction is well suited for both field and bench work Installs both Color-Keyed and non-insulated Sta-Kon connectors How the Smart Tool Works The Smart Tool was engineered with built-in intelligence* that enables it to sense the connector barrel diameter and automatically apply just the right amount of compression force. This eliminates virtually all air spaces and forms the connector and conductor strands into a solid mass, resulting in a high-quality, low-resistance connection. In addition, the tool clearly embosses T&B with each compression for positive verification that the correct tool was used. * Novopress System Uniform, Dependable Connections The Smart Tool gives you consistent, high-quality compression connections over a wide range of connector sizes. Available in manual, battery-powered and air-operated versions, this tool easily installs lugs and splices from #8 AWG through 900 kcmil copper or 750 kcmil aluminum without changing dies. For the specified wire range, all you need is one tool. You always have the right die size, eliminating die selection mistakes. Lower Installation Costs Productivity will be greatly improved with the Smart Tool, especially when installing a variety of connector sizes or types. Initial investment is low, requiring minimal tool inventory. These benefits add up to lower installed cost. C-Type Yoke Offers Installation Convenience The C-type yoke configuration and large die spacing enable the Smart Tool to slip directly over the connector. This means added speed and convenience when installing two-way splice connectors, especially in confined spaces. Smart Tool Range Taking Features The following size Color-Keyed lugs and splice connectors, when crimped with the Smart Tool, produce these range-taking capabilities: Copper Aluminum Standard Wire Size Range Taking Standard Wire Size Range Taking /0-AWG #6-/0 AWG /0-AWG #6-/0 AWG /0-AWG #-/0 AWG /0-AWG #-/0 AWG 4/0-AWG #-4/0 AWG 4/0-AWG #-4/0 AWG 300 kcmil #/0-300 kcmil 300 kcmil #/0-300 kcmil 350 kcmil 50-350 kcmil 350 kcmil 50-350 kcmil 500 kcmil 50-500 kcmil 500 kcmil 4/0-500 kcmil 750 kcmil 500-750 kcmil 750 kcmil 500-750 kcmil E8
