BURNDY PAT221A02A2 PATRIOT 2-Ton Small Terminal Crimper
The BURNDY PAT221A02A2 is a highly compact, battery-actuated crimping tool engineered to deliver 2 tons of precision crimping force. Designed specifically for close-quarters work in electrical panels and confined junction boxes, this tool effectively covers #22 to #1 AWG copper terminals and splices—the largest capacity range in its compact class.
Operating on the reliable Makita 18V lithium-ion battery platform, the PAT221A02A2 features a 1-second cycle time with auto-retract and calibration functionality. Its scissor-action angled head and Connector Hold feature simplify wire insertion in difficult angles. Operator feedback is provided through an integrated LED worklight and a red LED indicator that flags incomplete crimps, ensuring secure and verified terminations every time.
Key Features
- Compact Form Factor: Measures just 10.6 inches in length and weighs 2.6 lb (without battery) for exceptional maneuverability in confined spaces.
- Makita 18V Compatibility: Accepts 2.0Ah to 6.0Ah Makita 18V Li-Ion batteries, recharging in under 25 minutes (2.0Ah).
- Precision Mechanism: Features a scissor-action angled head, automatic retraction, and a 1-second operational cycle time.
- Safety & Control: Built-in Safety Trigger Lock, Emergency Release, and streamlined one-button operation (hold, crimp, retract).
