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:
