When installing Release a die assembly, the accompanying stabilizer and i Lever locator must be installed on the tool for proper functioning. The ratchet release lever enables the tool operator to open the partially closed tool handles when necessary. During crimping, the locator correctly positions wire and product (terminal, splice, or Figure 1 contact), while the stabilizer (when used) prevents the product from bending. 1.
