Handy Crimp Tool

The Hayn Handy Crimp Tool is a Nicopress hand crimping tool for lifeline applications, supplied with "C" and "G" dies covering 1/8" and 3/16" cable for use with Hayn Handy Crimp lifeline hardware where machine swaging equipment is not available. 

Strong Where It Matters

Handy Crimp Tool

The Handy Crimp tool is intended for low load lifeline applications only — when properly installed, Handy Crimp fittings develop approximately 70% of 7x7 cable strength, which is not sufficient for high load standing rigging applications where machine-swaged hardware is required. The hand crimping process is labor intensive and leaves three visible crimp marks on the fitting, unlike the smooth finish produced by machine swaging.

Standard discounts do not apply to this tool, and installation instructions are available on the Hayn website for reference before use.

Engineered In America Every Hayn fitting is designed and manufactured at our facility in Rocky Hill, Connecticut — the same American workmanship that has set the standard for stainless steel rigging hardware since 1950.
Cold-Worked Production Hayn fittings are cold-worked, not cast. That distinction matters: the cold-working process refines grain structure, increases fatigue resistance, and produces a fundamentally stronger component — one built to perform when the load comes on it.
Precision Manufacturing Our Rocky Hill production floor runs CNC vertical mills, CNC lathes, large-capacity mill-turn centers, and waterjet cutting systems — all configured to produce hardware that meets exact specifications, every time.
75+ Years of Excellence Hayn has been engineering and manufacturing marine and architectural rigging hardware since 1950. That track record isn't just history, it's the design knowledge, failure data, and continuous improvement that goes into every product we make. 
  • Type 316 stainless steel construction for superior saltwater corrosion resistance
  • Manufactured in Rocky Hill, Connecticut to Hayn's proprietary tolerances
  • Precision-machined using advanced CNC manufacturing equipment



  • Engineered for seamless integration in marine and architectural rigging systems

  • Short lead times on both standard and custom components

  • Backed by 75 years of marine and architectural hardware expertise
