SG Tool Aid Crimping Tools: Precision Connections for Professional Technicians

When it comes to reliable automotive electrical repairs, the quality of your crimp is everything. A poor connection can mean intermittent faults, failed sensors, or even electrical fires — which is why professional technicians turn to SG Tool Aid for their crimping tools. S&G Tool Aid Corp. has for over 50 years supplied the automotive, heavy duty, electronics, agriculture, marine, and related industries with a wide range of general tools, equipment, and mechanics' aids. That depth of experience is clearly reflected in their crimping tool lineup — a focused, thoughtfully engineered range designed to handle the most demanding terminal and connector work in any shop.

A Range Built Around Ratcheting Precision

At the heart of the SG Tool Aid crimping tool lineup is their commitment to ratcheting action. Ratcheting action ensures a perfect crimp every time and eliminates damaged or distorted terminals. Their flagship Professional Ratcheting Terminal Crimper (18900) is engineered to crimp 22–10 gauge insulated terminals with consistent, repeatable force — a critical advantage in high-volume shop environments where a substandard crimp simply isn't acceptable.

For technicians who need maximum versatility, SG Tool Aid offers their 9-Die Quick-Change Ratcheting Crimping Kit. Each kit includes 9 dies for the most popular automotive terminal crimping applications and features easy-change dies that remove with the press of a lever. The crimping tools are made of steel and feature comfortable cushion grips, and each kit comes with a durable plastic molded storage case. The die set covers an impressive spectrum of applications — from insulated terminals 22–10 AWG and non-insulated open barrel connectors, to RG-6 and RG-59 coaxial cable and 8mm/8.5mm spiral core spark plug wire.

Specialized Tools for Modern Connector Systems

Modern vehicles rely heavily on weather-sealed connectors, and SG Tool Aid has purpose-built solutions for these systems. Their Weatherpack Crimping Tool (18910) is specifically designed for GM-style connector families. It features three wire crimping and two seal crimping positions to achieve the perfect connection every time, and will crimp 14–22 gauge open-barrel Weatherpack as well as 150 and 280 Series Metri-Pack terminals and seals. These tools are built from steel and include comfortable cushioned grips.

SG Tool Aid also offers an Open Barrel Crimping Tool (SGT18600) for technicians working with non-insulated terminals in performance wiring, trailer harnesses, and aftermarket audio or lighting applications. The products are innovatively designed and produced to professional-quality standards, with the company maintaining complete control over design and manufacturing processes, quality, and consistency.
