GROUND SHEATH CONNECTOR CRIMPING TOOLs NOs. WT-200, 201, 203, 206, and 208
By the Thomas and Betts (T & B) Co. Elizabeth, N.J. U.S.A.
PARALLEL ACTION HEX CRIMPER HAND TOOL SET
For crimping shield terminating ferrules and coax connectors such as Shield-Kon Two-piece connectors. The outer sleeve is crimped with a hand tool and the result is a hexagonal-shaped crimp. See page 373 of this link for further description or page 376 for GSC series sleeve listing.
Used former Rockwell International tooling from the 80's and 90’s. Inactivated when the aerospace business slowed and now finally they have been surplused and are available to you at a tiny fraction of their original price!
Set Includes FIVE different size crimpers:
* WT-200 for use on GSC 128 blue 0.128 ID; 0.152 OD; RG178A/U cable (see Note 2)
* WT-201 for use on GSC 149 purple 0.149 ID; 0.179 OD)
* WT-203 for use on GSC 175 blue 0.175 ID; 0.215 OD; RG122/U cable (see Note 2)

1. GSC ferrule outer sleeve numbers correspond to MS21980 dash numbers. "MS21980E remains inactive for new design, however, the document is valid for use." (From this link)
2. Cables listed from MIL-F-21608E table V. MIL-F-21608 is spec for Ferrule, Shield Terminating, Crimp Style (Superceded BY SAE-AS21608 so you have to pay money to read it), however the MIL spec is still available here for free: MIL-F-21608E
This series tool seems to have been superseded by the WT-440 and WT-540 hand tools which feature interchangeable dies for minimum tool investment. However, a new WT-540 handle and dies to match this set would run over $4300. WT-540 handle new at $1026.87 with 68 day lead time (Newark 94F7392). Die new $645.38 with 33 day lead time Newark 25C3244 .
Well used. Name plates are still readable but just barely. Except as noted all need slight assistance to open. However actions are smooth and dies line up well. Detail Conditions of Individual tools:
* WT200 Handle Plastic Grip coating worn thru in places.
* WT201 Rachet Inop due to pawl spring missing. (See the picture showing tool with missing spring alongside fully working tool.) This is repairable with a new spring or tool is usable without spring by manually moving rachet pawl. Handle Plastic Grip coating worn thru at one end. Plastic is evenly discolored everywhere vs other tools in set.
* WT203 No holes in grips; action slightly stiff but this one opens itself
* WT206 One melt spot on one plastic grip.
* WT208 Plastic Grips good; this one readily opens itself.
* Parallel Straight line action hand tool
* Frames with non-interchangeable steel dies
* Rachet mechanism: once pressing has commenced, the tool can be re-opened only after successful completion of the crimping cycle (except as noted for the WT-201 whose rachet is inop, needs a spring).
* Closed gap at die edges is zero (they touch), open gap at edges is about 7/16 inches.
* Dies are approx 11/32 thick.
* Cushion-grip handles combine to provide greater operator comfort and efficiency.
* Approx 9 3/4 long, 2 1/2 inches wide, 1 inch thick.
* Weight 8 1/2 lbs for the set of 5.
Packaging: None, you get just the tools.
