Premium Crimps, Comfortable Grip
The Premium Hand Crimper refines what the standard Diamond does well. The jaw geometry is optimized for even sleeve compression across a wider range of sizes. The ergonomic handles distribute grip pressure across your hand rather than concentrating it in one spot.
If you rig leaders weekly, the ergonomic improvement matters. Ten crimps in a session adds up. The Premium model eliminates the hand fatigue and hot spots that standard crimper handles produce. At $67.99, it fills the gap between the $46.99 standard Diamond and the $169.99 CH18.

Upgraded Jaw Geometry
Refined jaw design optimizes compression across the full range of standard sleeve sizes. The geometry produces a more uniform crimp shape with less force than the standard Diamond model.
Ergonomic Handles
Shaped grips distribute crimping force across your hand rather than concentrating pressure on your fingers. The ergonomic design reduces fatigue during multi-leader rigging sessions.
Full Sleeve Compatibility
Works with standard oval crimp sleeves from all major manufacturers. The optimized jaw profile handles the range of sleeve sizes used in inshore through offshore leader work.

2. Thread leader through sleeve, form loop, thread back through
3. Position sleeve in the jaw for even compression
4. Squeeze the ergonomic handles for a full crimp
5. Inspect the crimp for uniform shape
6. Pull test firmly on both ends
