The KNIPEX 97 52 42 6 PreciForce Crimping Pliers from ITS have been specifically developed for the professional installation, maintenance and repair of photovoltaic systems using MC4 and MC4 EVO 2 solar connectors.
Combining precision German engineering with application-specific crimping technology, these specialist crimping pliers deliver consistently secure, high-conductivity electrical connections for solar power installations.
Designed for renewable energy professionals, electrical contractors and solar installers, they provide the accuracy, reliability and efficiency required when working on modern residential, commercial and industrial photovoltaic systems.
Engineered exclusively for MC4 and MC4 EVO 2 connector systems, the PreciForce features an optimised crimp profile that produces highly reliable electrical terminations with excellent conductivity.
The improved crimp geometry ensures maximum contact quality between conductor and connector, helping to minimise resistance and maintain the long-term performance of solar installations. Whether installing rooftop solar arrays, commercial PV systems or off-grid power solutions, these crimping pliers provide the confidence needed for critical electrical connections.
To guarantee consistent results, the tool incorporates precision-machined crimping dies and an IEC 60352-compliant ratchet mechanism. This positive-lock system ensures every crimping cycle is completed correctly before the tool can be released, helping to eliminate under-crimping and maintain uniform connection quality across large installation projects. The ratchet can also be unlocked when required, providing additional flexibility during specialist applications.
Factory-calibrated crimping pressure ensures repeatable professional results straight from the box, while the efficient lever action generates high crimping force with minimal physical effort. This reduces user fatigue during repetitive installation work and helps improve productivity on larger solar projects where hundreds of connections may be required.
The carefully designed force transmission system allows installers to achieve reliable, standards-compliant crimps with exceptional ease and consistency.
The compact 220 mm design, favourable handle position and ergonomic non-slip grips provide excellent handling and control, even when working in confined roof spaces or awkward installation positions.
Despite its powerful crimping capability, the tool remains lightweight and comfortable to use throughout the working day, making it ideal for professional solar installers who require both precision and efficiency.
