Astro Pnumatic 9477 ratchet crimper 1) Does this tool have a release for the ratchet if you make a mistake. 2) Is the amount of force adjustable.

Yes. There is a release. I usually clamp all the way down until it releases automatically. If you wanted to control pressure you can squeeze until you're satisfied and then push the release button on the underside of the grips.
1597477
Yes to both questions. For the release, you need to take the tension off by squeezing slightly then push the release between the handles. It has an adjustment knob for force. I have been very satisfied with this tool. Harry

I don't know. Since manufacturers use Star, D, or Double D jet adjustments I have all three. There is also a Pac-man tool that I don't have but have never needed it.

Hello, Sim. I believe that this C.A.T. corresponds with the brand name: Activator I or Activator II. Activator Technique is not my primary form of adjusting, therefore this tool works well for me when I need the adjusting tool. I hope that this was helpful even though late. Good day!

Note that the product name is "Compression Crimper." It does "crimp" the fitting to the cable - it just requires special compression fittings rather than the style which crimps the barrel of the fitting. BTW does a good job for me but does sometimes require a little adjustment if you switch brands of fittings.

Yes this is a rachet tool that will not release until the clamp is properly set.

Comes with 4 sets.They are 6,8,10, and 12. This tool does a great job. I have made over a hundred bucks doing crimping with it for custom and rod builders I know. They bring the hose with the fittings installed they way they need them crimped. I get 3 bucks a crimp, and they get their stuff done with a personal touch and are able to take the hoses home and install them the same day.

The one I have is red. I don't recall the claimed RPM but it's very slow. Probably the slowest 3/8" air ratchet I've owned. It does the job and breaks tough bolts loose but if you want a speedy ratchet this is not the one for you.

Mt Tekton wrench was broken when it arrived, but my other ratcheting "clicker" - a Craftsman - does both RH and LH thread. The Tekton should work the same.

Variable speed trigger. Increases as your squeeze it. there is switch on top of it for low or high torque.

Yes it does, you can use one as the mechanics tools include the following: a 1/4-inch round head, full polish ratchet (85-890) and 8 SAE 1/4-inch sockets, a 1/4-inch spinner handle (86-004), a 1/4-inch bit holder (86-124), and 30 specialty bits.

Yes, it is very adjustable. It is a little heavy especially when extended. A very well constructed tool.

There is no setting adjustment but you can apply more or less torque depending on how long you hold trigger and let the wrench hammer.

Platinum Tools 100054C Clamshell EZ-RJPRO HD Crimp Tool I went with a higher grade crimping tool that did everything I needed. Wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money when I was shopping around, but after cabling my entire house I was happy I went with this model instead of one of the lower cost ones. It cuts, strips, crimps easily and quickly. Hope this helps, Dan.

This is a clamp style. Other is a crimp style. Clamps can be popped loose. Crimp rings have to be cut off. I use ratchet with clamp style and love it

It has the ability to crimp yes, but I just use a Lee factory crimp die when I want the crimp.

The tool works quite well on small jobs i.e. ball bearing pulling etc for instance off electric motors etc, you do not need any tools to adjust anything as there is a turn dial that you adjust that makes the puller arms decrease or increase the diameter of the arms depending on the bearing size or what ever you are pulling and the arms stay in place where ever you adjust them to quite well.

No, I purchased three hats, they are adjustable but not the ratchet type. The ratchet linnets can be purchased separately for about $15.00.
