Cable crimpers are a crimping tool allowing wires to be easily terminated to screw terminals. A reliable connection is required in electronic circuitry, cable crimpers provide a precise connection between wires and connectors. Standard crimp tools can work around different sizes, whereas specialised versions are linked to their corresponding connectors, such as BNC connectors, to coaxial cable.
