I don't believe you can get a Copalum crimper without getting certified by them. I had a friend who tried to buy one and they would not sell it to him until he took their training

I think they just like how it feeds the bank account, don't sell what you can rent over and over again.

I think you can buy it once you get their training. At least that was my understanding but it cost a few thousand dollars for the tool.

Well I certainly could be mistaken but I thought they were lease only after training.


You may be correct. I just remember someone saying they cost a few grand so I assumed they were bought.

Seems like you are correct- no surprise there:)- found this on a you tube

You cannot buy this crimper. Tyco electronics is the only manufacturer of this tool and they do not sell it. Only people whom have taken Tyco's training classes are eligible to "lease" them.
