ASTOOL’s general product range includes Hidden Decking System Tool, Telecom/Internet Crimping Tool, Cable Stripper, Cable Cutter, Cable Tie Tool, Crimping Tool, J Clip Pliers, Indent Crimper, and Parallel Crimper. AS-4804 is an NSI-EX Pass-thru RJ45 Crimper measuring 140 mm in length and 124 mm in width and weighing 260 g, designed to crimp NSI-EX pass-thru RJ45 plugs. The AS-4804 includes a lock function for pocket carry, uses a replacement blade thicker than the regular crimper blade to extend lifespan, and is available with customized handle-grip color. AS-4689 is an Internet/Telecom Crimping Tool for external ground tabs and pass-thru shielded RJ45, measuring 204 mm by 60 mm and weighing 385 g. The AS-4689 crimps modular RJ12 and RJ11 plugs plus three types of RJ45 plug, includes a release-tab design for easier plug removal after crimping, crimps the external ground tab on shielded RJ45 plugs, and supports customized handle-grip colors. AS-1407 is a Multi-Contact MC4 PV terminal crimping tool for 2.5/4/6mm² terminals, measuring 205 mm by 161 mm and weighing 390 g. The AS-1407 uses a terminal holder and calibrate plate to hold the terminal and regulate crimping direction, is intended to prevent terminal damage and save operating time, and uses a full-cycle ratchet mechanism to increase crimp reliability. AS-1447, with extended grips, is a DEUTSCH Solid Contact Crimping Tool for Size 12 contacts and AWG 12-14 wire, measuring 208 mm by 57.3 mm and weighing 332 g. The AS-1447 performs 4-way indent crimping, uses a ratchet mechanism to complete an effective crimp, and has cushioned extension grips intended to save effort. The AS-1100 series is an 8" crimping-tool family with interchangeable dies for cord-end terminals; the listed AS-1151 measures 204 mm by 66 mm, weighs 377 g, and crimps cord-end terminals AWG 22-10. Its interchangeable die set can be operated with a screwdriver, the full-cycle ratchet mechanism is used to increase crimp reliability, and customized logo laser marking or printing is available. ASTOOL also identifies MC4 solar-terminal crimping, stainless cable-tie tension tools, and custom terminal/connector tool design as areas developed beyond its established wiring-tool categories. For custom terminal and connector requirements, the company links tool design with inspection conditions such as pull-force, crimping-force, and water-resistance requirements after crimping.

ASTOOL CORPORATION was founded in 1991 in Shu-Lin, Taiwan, as a professional manufacturer of wiring hand tools. Its established product categories include crimping tools, waterproof-connector crimping tools, rotary coaxial cable strippers, and internet modular crimping tools. ASTOOL states that it has more than 30 years of experience and has been among Taiwan’s top five hand-tool manufacturers in the crimping and stripping-tool industry by quantity or quality. Most ASTOOL products are sold under different customer brands but are based on ASTOOL’s own designs, and the company also manufactures OEM/ODM products and can remake discontinued tools for further modification. The company exports through agencies and direct orders across continents, while all spare parts used in its tools are sourced in Taiwan according to its company profile. ASTOOL also develops custom tools for terminals and connectors with special specifications and has supported corporations and enterprises with post-crimp inspection requirements such as pull-force testing, crimping-force requirements, and water-resistance testing. In addition to established wiring tools, ASTOOL has developed tools for MC4 solar terminals and easy-carry handy-type stainless cable-tie tensioning.
