Diamond CH18 Heavy Duty Hand Crimper
The Diamond CH18 Heavy Duty Hand Crimper is purpose-built for serious offshore anglers who demand precision and durability from their rigging tools. Designed to handle the most rugged rigging jobs, this crimper is ideal for creating secure, reliable connections when working with heavy monofilament, fluorocarbon, or cable—essential when targeting hard-fighting species like tuna, marlin, and swordfish. Whether you're building leaders or assembling wind-on rigs, the CH18 is built to perform under pressure.
Reliable Compression with Five Die Positions
What sets the CH18 apart is its built-in versatility. This tool features five distinct crimping positions, giving anglers the ability to work with a broad range of sleeve sizes and materials. Each compression is smooth, consistent, and calibrated to deliver tight, even crimps without damaging the line. The result is a streamlined connection that maintains maximum strength, ensuring confidence in every rig you deploy.
Heavy-Duty Construction for Longevity
Crafted with a durable steel frame and coated for corrosion resistance, the CH18 is made to withstand the harsh saltwater environment. It’s not just a tool for the workbench—it’s built to be on the deck, in the cockpit, or packed into a rigging bag for remote fishing trips. The solid feel of the crimper gives you full control over each crimp, even when working with tough materials or larger terminal gear.
Ergonomic Grip for Comfort in the Field
Despite its heavy-duty build, the CH18 is surprisingly user-friendly thanks to its ergonomic molded handles. The non-slip grip reduces hand fatigue during long rigging sessions, making it easier to prep multiple rigs quickly and accurately. Whether you’re outfitting a tournament spread or preparing for an extended trip offshore, this tool is designed to keep you moving efficiently and comfortably.
A Trusted Standard for Offshore Rigging
The Diamond CH18 Heavy Duty Hand Crimper has earned its place as a go-to tool for captains, mates, and serious anglers alike. Its unmatched combination of power, precision, and durability makes it an essential addition to any rigging arsenal. When the fish of a lifetime is on the line, trust your connections to the crimper that professionals rely on.
