LeTroLaq Hand Crimpers – Made in the USA
Let us show you how our Hand Crimpers Air-Press models HCAP-01, HCAP-02, HCAP-03, and HCAP-04 can help your company with:
- Decrease repetitive hand injuries
- Increase production
- Improve quality
- Provide better ergonomic hand tools
- Offer hand tool automation
Pneumatic operation of ordinary hand tools—what a great idea! When purchasing these Hand Crimpers Air-Press machines, we will modify up to two (2) of your handheld crimpers at no additional charge and have them back to you within three business days. Place your ergonomic hand tools into one of LeTroLaq’s pneumatic presses. These crimping hand tool actuators will further reduce your employees’ risk of personal injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, while increasing your production. Using our presses eliminates pressure exerted on your hands. Carpal tunnel injuries are very costly and can increase your insurance costs. You have three wire terminating equipment tools to choose from. They are all patented and made in America.

The Hand Crimpers Air-Press 02 (HCAP-02)

Example of the HCAP-02 (Hand Crimper Hand Press-02)
This machine, unlike competitors’ machines, features a U.S. patented unique pressure equalization mechanism that applies equal pressure to both handles of the installed tool, eliminating tool handle breakage. Maintenance-free operation: no oiling or adjustments needed. Provides hand tool automation. Our machine accepts most, if not all, ratcheting type tools as well as non-ratcheting type tools. After modification, you can still use your tool for remote manual operation when needed. This machine is as close to plug-and-play as you can get, compared to any other machine on the market today.
Features:
- Very economical tooling for today’s manufacturers and prototyping
- Turns hand crimping tools into semi-automated tooling
- Reduces repetitive hand injuries
- Increases productivity
- Use your existing tools
- Easy to use and move
- 30-second tool changeover
- Allows the operator to slowly jog the hand tool to the closed position
- Holds terminal in position prior to crimping
- Allows for precise wire-to-terminal placement
- Ideal for butt splicing
When purchasing these machines, we will modify up to two (2) of your handheld crimpers at no additional charge and have them back to you within three business days. The HCAP-02 is controlled with a foot-operated Split-Cycle controller. The Split-Cycle controller allows the machine to grip a terminal, leaving both hands free to assemble and bundle multiple wires for insertion into terminals.
Hand Crimpers Air-Press 01 (HCAP-01)

Example of our Hand Crimper Air-Press HCAP-01 with Hand Tools
This machine, unlike any competitor’s machines, has a U.S. patented unique pressure equalization mechanism which applies equal pressure to both handles of the installed tool, eliminating tool handle breakage. Maintenance-free operation: no oiling or adjustments needed after initial tool installation/setup. Our machine accepts most, if not all, ratcheting type tools as well as non-ratcheting type tools. After modification, you can still use your tool for remote manual operation when needed.
- Turns hand crimping tools into semi-automated tooling
- Reduces repetitive hand injuries
- Increases productivity

Example of our Hand Crimper Air Press 03 (HCAP-03)
The HCAP-03 model is specially designed for big gauge wire and “heavy head” crimping tools. This machine, unlike any competitor’s machines, has a U.S. patented unique pressure equalization mechanism which applies equal pressure to both handles of the installed tool, eliminating tool handle breakage. Maintenance-free operation: no oiling or adjustments needed after initial tool installation/setup. Our machine accepts most, if not all, ratcheting type tools as well as non-ratcheting type tools. After modification, you can still use your tool for remote manual operation when needed.
