Key Features Genuine Facom professional crimping pliers Facom reference: 985755 Designed for wire end terminals Crimping capacity: 0.5-6mm Five crimping patterns / profiles Suitable for a range of compatible terminal sizes Easy-release mechanism Allows release in the event of incorrect operation Comfortable handle grips Designed for repetitive professional use Suitable for production and installation work Professional electrical and automotive workshop tool Suitable for maintenance and engineering applications Manual hand-operated design 0.5-6mm Crimping Capacity The Facom 985755 has a specified working capacity of: 0.5-6mm This provides a useful working range for fitting compatible wire end terminals across multiple conductor sizes. For the best connection, always ensure the terminal, conductor size and appropriate crimping position are correctly matched before operating the tool. Five Crimping Profiles The tool incorporates five crimping patterns / profiles. Having multiple profiles within the same crimping tool allows the appropriate position to be selected according to the compatible wire end terminal and conductor being used. Correct selection is important to achieve a secure and consistent crimp without unnecessarily damaging the terminal or conductor. Easy-Release Mechanism The Facom 985755 incorporates an easy-release system in the event of incorrect operation. This is particularly useful on a production-style crimping tool, allowing the mechanism to be released if the crimping operation has been started incorrectly. It provides an additional level of practicality for technicians carrying out repeated terminal installations. Comfortable Grips The crimping pliers feature comfortable handle grips designed to provide a secure and practical hold during operation. This is particularly beneficial when carrying out repetitive wiring and terminal work in production, installation, servicing or maintenance environments. Professional Applications The Facom 985755 is suitable for applications including: Automotive electrical work Vehicle wiring repairs Electrical installation Wire end terminal fitting Wiring harness work Electrical maintenance Control panel assembly Equipment servicing Production environments Engineering workshops Industrial maintenance Electrical workshops Professional repair work Production Crimping Tool The production-style design makes the Facom 985755 particularly suitable where multiple terminals need to be fitted accurately and efficiently. Rather than using general-purpose pliers to deform a terminal, a dedicated crimping tool provides controlled crimping profiles designed specifically for compatible terminals. Correct crimping helps provide a secure mechanical connection between the conductor and terminal when the correct terminal, conductor and tool profile are used.

The Facom 985755 is a professional hand-operated crimping tool designed for fitting compatible wire end terminals. It is particularly suited to repetitive electrical work in automotive, engineering, production, installation and industrial maintenance environments.
What crimping capacity does the Facom 985755 cover?
The pliers have a specified crimping capacity of 0.5-6mm, providing a useful range for different compatible wire end terminals and conductor sizes. Always match the conductor and terminal to the appropriate crimping position before operating the tool.
How many crimping profiles does the tool have?
The Facom 985755 incorporates five crimping patterns / profiles within the same tool. These provide different crimping positions for compatible terminal and conductor sizes, allowing the user to select the appropriate profile for the connection being made.
What is the easy-release mechanism used for?
The easy-release mechanism allows the crimping tool to be released if an operation has been started incorrectly. This is particularly useful during repetitive production or installation work where a terminal may have been incorrectly positioned before the crimping cycle is completed.
Why use dedicated wire end terminal crimping pliers instead of ordinary pliers?
A dedicated crimping tool provides a controlled crimping profile specifically intended for compatible terminals, rather than simply squeezing or deforming the terminal. Correctly matching the conductor, terminal and crimping profile helps produce a secure and consistent mechanical connection.
Are the Facom 985755 pliers suitable for automotive electrical work?
Yes. The tool is suitable for compatible automotive wiring, electrical repairs, wiring harness work and vehicle maintenance applications. It is also useful for electrical installation, control-panel assembly, equipment servicing and general industrial electrical maintenance.
