Gardner Bender Gardner Bender Gs-388 Crimping Plier, 8 In., High-leverage Handle
Videos
The Gardner Bender GS-388 is a professional-grade 8-inch crimping plier designed for electricians and electrical professionals who need a reliable, multi-function tool for wire connections. This crimper combines crimping and cutting capabilities in one compact tool, eliminating the need to carry separate instruments and streamlining your workflow on residential and commercial electrical projects.
The GS-388 cuts solid and stranded copper core and aluminum core wire with its integrated cutting tip, while the built-in crimper handles non-insulated, vinyl-insulated, nylon-insulated, and ignition terminals. The high-leverage handle design reduces hand fatigue during repetitive use and delivers the extra power needed for consistent, accurate crimping without excessive user effort.
