Question 1

What is the Stanley 84-223-22 230mm Crimping Pliers used for?

Accepted Answer

These pliers are designed to terminate cables quickly and reliably, with a crimping function for electrical connections and a built-in wire-stripping capability. They’re built for professional use but are also suitable for DIY electrical tasks, offering a long 230 mm reach for better coverage and maneuverability.

Question 2

What wire sizes can it strip and crimp?

Accepted Answer

The tool is described as stripping insulation on cables and wires up to about 2.5 mm in diameter. The specification section additionally notes stripping capability up to 4 mm for certain cables, so results may vary by insulation type and conductor size.

Question 3

What are the key specifications and materials of this model?

Accepted Answer

Key specs include: 230 mm length, nickel-plated corrosion-resistant construction, hardened steel blades for durable cutting, and a lock joint with an anti-pinch design for safety during use.

Question 4

How does the anti-pinch lock joint improve safety?

Accepted Answer

The anti-pinch lock joint helps prevent your fingers from being pinched during opening and closing, reducing the risk of injury when repeatedly applying force to strip or crimp.

Question 5

How do I use these pliers to strip insulation and crimp connectors?

Accepted Answer

First, select the appropriate jaw for the wire size and desired operation. Position the wire in the stripping notch to remove insulation, then place the stripped conductor in the crimping slot and squeeze firmly to terminate. Use the locking mechanism to secure the joint when not in use.

Question 6

Can I use these pliers in tight spaces or confined areas?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 230 mm length and compact design are intended to help you reach and work in tighter spaces where larger crimping tools might not fit, making it suitable for in-wall or panel wiring tasks.

Question 7

What safety precautions should I follow when using these pliers?

Accepted Answer

Wear safety glasses and gloves as appropriate, keep fingers away from the cutting and crimping jaws, ensure the tool is in good condition (no cracks or corrosion), and use the tool only within its specified wire sizes and insulation types.

Question 8

What kinds of projects are ideal for these pliers?

Accepted Answer

They’re well-suited for electrical installations, cable terminations, panel wiring, and general electrical maintenance where a robust, all-in-one crimp-and-strip tool is advantageous.
