IMPERIAL EASTMAN HOSE CRIMPERS

The Imperial Eastman K16 hose crimper was considered one of the best designs for two wire hoses by Imperial Eastman Distributors.  The crimper looks like other Imperial Eastman Crimpers, however the die design is much different.  K16 dies have color coded diamond markings on the top of the dies which helps identify the die at a quick glance.

The K16 crimper looks similar to it's bigger brothers K501/ K601, however the red pressure plate that contacts the die shoe is much thinner by design.  Dies do not interchange with K501 or K601 crimpers.
