Hand-Operated Full Cycle Ratchet Tool

The MD7-34R POSI-PRESS HYTOOL™ has a full stroke ratchet that assures the user has cycled the tool completely for a consistent crimp every time. The tool handles are manufactured from a new reinforced composite polymer that requires no adjustment for the life of the tool. This new tool design assures users that all connections installed with the MD7-34R are consistent and reliable over the life of the tool. A visual wear indicator provides easy verification of the tool's condition. An emergency ratchet release allows tool removal in case of mistaken die choice or to reposition tool.

The Huskie REC-458U is the same design as the REC-358 with the addition of an upgraded hydraulic circuit. The new rapid advance feature allows the operator quicker compression cycles. In addition to the rapid advance feature, it also has incorporated and electronic counter that will allow a service technician to read the number of compression cycles the tool has made. Also, the new tool housing has been reinforced to improve durability during heavy field use.

A factory pre-set bypass cartridge assures a six ton compression every time. The REC-458U accepts either "W" or "O" type dies. The D3 nest die comes standard with the tool. Always consult your connector manufacturer for proper die/connector combinations.

Like the REC-358, the REC-458U will accept the optional 25CAT cutter head attachment. Quick release pins allow the operator to change between compression and cutter head in one minute, with no springs or pins to lose.
