- The knipex crimper for 3M scotchlok connectors. A must have for locksmiths dealing with access control. The Knipex 97 50 01
The shown connector is the 3M™ Scotchlok™ UY2 Yellow 26-19 AWG (0.4 to 0.9 mm2)
I have seen these types of connectors before. Neat idea.
I didn't know about those connectors. Thanks for sharing Rune!
Have a look at the PDF i linked to in my reply to Jason. They have been round for many years.
I always used the 3M E9Y Scotchlok pliers and have used thousands of Scotchlok connectors over the years in the Oil Well Perforating Service Industry (to connect Blasting Caps), and then introduced them into the professional Fireworks Industry. They are certainly a mainstay of the Telecom Industry, which is what they were originally invented for by 3M. On a word of caution; do not rub your eyes with any of the waterproof sealant that oozes out of the Scotchlok connector when you crimp it and get it on your fingers -- it burns your eyes!! That Knipex tool looks very good -- I'll have to get a few -- Thanks for sharing.
Yes there is a warning about the gel on the package.
The knipex is so small and light weight and with a spring to open it up.
I found the wire connector the most fascinating part of this video.
They are cool. I have used them for many years. Just didn’t have a knipex tool for the job
That's a smart bit of kit.
Thanks for sharing 👍
The connectors are not a new thing, but was so happy to see Knipex had made a tool for them
Nice tool! 🐈⬛🐾🐈🐾
so much better than using normal pliers, as it has the perfect gap to fully crimp, but not damage the connector
Pretty cool tool!
I didn’t know they made this tool! I don’t use those connectors but I might start now!
here is a 3M document about the connectors with all the specs

Interesting. Dang it Rune, now I have to buy new Scotchlok's and another pair of Knipex 😄
you are welcome. I was waiting for you to comment something like that
I have the Klein version of this tool, they take out any variability and risk of crushing the connectors. Knipex plierswrench's also work quite well as long as you you go overboard squeezing them.
