“Tool Calibration for 1” MIL3 Crimp Maker Tool”
All crimp tools wear, which increases the crimp diameter after many crimps . When your crimp
start to approach the maximum ring diameter, then adjust to hex pin in the moving jaw. First ,
remove the e-clip from the pivot pin (P1) and push the pin out to free the moving jaw to swing
up to the top of the tool body. Now push the adjustment hex pin (P2) out of the jaw about
1/4 inch ,or just enough to let it rotate. Rotate the pin to move the dot to the next highest
number shown on the tool body(P3). Hold the two handles together during this adjustment
to make it easier to push the hex pin (P3) back into the jaw after it has been rotated. Swing
the moving jaw back into the body and reassemble with the pivot pin and e-clip.Retest the
tool at the new adjusted setting and proceed.

CHECK EVERY CRIMP! Each crimp connection should be
checked with a 'Go / No Go' gauge to ensure proper
installation. When checking the crimp with the 'Go / No Go'
gauge, make sure to push straight down on the crimp ring. A
proper crimp has been established if the
'Go' side of the gauge fits over and can rotate around the
circumference of the crimp ring.
'GO' / 'NO GO' GAUGE Normal wear and tear can effect
gauge accuracy so periodically check gauge with a measuring
device or change to a new gauge regularly to ensure accuracy.
An improper
