Battery Powered Wire Rope Splicer

The Nicopress Model 5606 Battery-Powered Wire Rope Splicer allows the user to align and crimp sleeves for securing wire rope without assistance, and requires only one-handed operation. The lithium-ion powered, 6 3/4-pound tool crimps up to 7 gauge fence wire or 3/8-inch-diameter wire rope in less than six seconds, audibly releasing when the pre-determined pressure is reached. Its jaws rotate 360 degrees for ease of use in confined spaces, and its battery pack provides about 250 crimps per charge. The 5606 comes with wrist strap, two batteries, A/C battery charger, and carrying case.
