FCI BURNDY Products Introduces The PATRIOT PAT644XT-18V Battery Actuated Crimping Tool

Manchester, NH - FCI, a manufacturer and provider of connector solutions to the industrial, energy, application tooling and automotive industries, introduced the newly designed BURNDY PATRIOT PAT644XT-18V battery-actuated hydraulic crimping tool for the contractor, utility and telecommunications markets. According to FCI, the PAT644XT-18V tool has more crimps per charge, improved ergonomic design, and an 18V Nickel Metal-Hydride (Ni-MH) battery.

Offering trouble-free tool operation, the PAT644XT-18V incorporates the latest engineering technology with a patented high-speed hydraulic pump, transmission and piston design. The battery actuated hydraulic tool provides a consistent, reliable connection with copper or aluminum terminals and splices. Its 2.6 AH high-capacity 18V Ni-MH battery eliminates voltage depression, maximizing the number of crimps per charge. With its state-of-the-art crimping head design boasting 360° head rotation, the tool head can operate in virtually any position, claims FCI.

The PAT644XT-18V has 11-tons of output force, an audible "pop-off" crimp indicator, and an ergonomically balanced design to lessen fatigue. The die-less crimper incorporates a fixed nest and indentor which means you never have to worry about losing dies. The PAT644XT-18V is supplied with a durable high impact formed carrying case, battery charger, two batteries and tool retention lanyard.

Each crimping tool in the PATRIOT line uses off-the-shelf BURNDY connectors available worldwide, and comes with a five year limited warranty on the tool.
