Why Choose the Partex CT120I Copper Tube Terminal Crimp Tool?
The Partex CT120I is a professional heavy-duty manual copper tube terminal crimping tool designed to create secure electrical connections on large copper conductors. With a 16–120 mm² crimping capacity, this robust hand-operated tool is suitable for industrial electrical installations, power distribution systems, switchgear assembly and heavy-duty cable termination applications.
Designed specifically for Partex COL and PXL copper tube terminals, the CT120I features an indent crimping mechanism with manual screw adjustment for selecting the appropriate crimp size. This adjustable design enables installers to accommodate different terminal sizes without requiring a separate crimping tool for each conductor cross-section.
The CT120I incorporates SCM440 carbon steel crimping jaws and long tubular steel handles with PVC grips for controlled manual operation. Measuring 645 mm in length and weighing approximately 3.5 kg, it provides the leverage required for larger copper tube terminal installations while remaining portable for workshop and on-site use.

Reliable Heavy-Duty Crimping for Industrial Cable Termination
Copper tube terminal crimping is an essential process in electrical power distribution, providing a secure mechanical and electrical connection between a conductor and its terminal. The Partex CT120I uses an indent compression mechanism to deform the barrel of compatible copper tube terminals around the inserted conductor. When the correct crimp size and installation procedure are used, this helps produce a dependable connection suitable for demanding electrical applications.
The CT120I is particularly suited to electrical contractors, industrial maintenance engineers and switchboard manufacturers working with 16–120 mm² copper conductors. Its manually adjustable crimping mechanism allows the operator to select the appropriate setting for different terminal sizes, while the long tubular steel handles provide the leverage needed for heavy-duty compression. The durable jaw construction and practical hand-operated design make it a reliable choice for workshop assembly and on-site electrical installation.
