Knipex 8-1/4-in. Crimp System Pliers for MC4 Evo 2 Connectors (97 43 66 EVO)

Crimp system pliers dedicated to the second-generation MC4® Evo 2 connector, with crimping capacity for 4, 6, and 10 mm² (12, 10, and 8 AWG) — the professional standard for large PV installations.

• Parallel crimping die movement for repetitive, high-quality crimps
• Precision dies and an integral, self-releasing locking mechanism
• Locator for precise MC4® Evo 2 positioning comes factory pre-assembled with the crimping die (unlike the standard 97 43 66, whose locator is sold separately)
• Additional MC4® locator available separately: 97 49 71 1
• Crimping pressure factory-calibrated for consistent results
• Designed for one- and two-handed operation
• Chrome vanadium electric steel, special quality, oil-hardened
• Made in Germany

Note: "EVO" denotes compatibility with the newer MC4 Evo 2 connector generation only (not the original MC4) — it is a wider crimp range with an integrated locator, not a handle/ergonomics change.
