This document describes the Miniature Adjustable Crimp Tool AFM8 (M22520/2-01), a precision hand crimp tool manufactured by Daniels Manufacturing Corporation (DMC).
The AFM8 is designed for crimping electrical contacts onto wires. It features a double-action ratchet mechanism, which ensures that the crimping cycle is completed once initiated, preventing partial crimps. The tool is used in conjunction with specific positioners, referred to as 'K' series positioners, which guide the contact and wire during the crimping process. The tool's adjustability allows for precise crimping across a range of wire sizes by selecting the appropriate setting on the selector knob.
