Track Pin Crimpers
– Crimps track into connector pins with 4 edges parallel to the pin & rails on tubular track. 2 edges on Fast Track
– With how it crimps the track you will not have any bump on the top or sides of the rails
– Tighten loose Track pins for better conductivity but leave then loose enough to be taken apart.
– We recommend that the pin is in the rails before using this crimper. Without pin in the track you can easy over crimp the rails.
– Can be use on track that is mounted down on a layout.
– We know their are a few pier version of this tool. But the screw acts like a gear reduction and makes it very easy to put a lot of force on the rails so it bits into the pin.
– This tool in NOT meant to repair the rails by fixing the overall shape back to ordinal but can help it.
– You will need to adjust the top set screw for the track types. You want the jaws to remain parallel with each other when crimping.
– requires 1/8″ & 5/32″ hex wrench
– Top screw is for adjusting width for different tracks.
– Upper screw is received into a pocket on other half of crimper to hold it from spinning when tightening.
