What you already have
The KIT-DC01 / KIT-DC02 options contain multiple tools. Check the exact kit contents before ordering extra crimpers or extraction tools.
Check before adding Solid and stamped contacts require different tooling. Ask us to confirm which contact type your selected kit supports before adding connector supplies.

For compatible 0.2–6 mm² wire only. Check the actual conductor and insulation; skip this if you already own a suitable stripper.

APPLICATION · FIT · WHAT IS INCLUDED
KIT-DC02 · focused connector repair kit
An 8-piece automotive connector toolkit for supported Deutsch solid contacts and Weather Pack / Metri-Pack applications.
- Crimpers
- IWD-16, IWD-20 and IWC-1424B
- Contact construction
- Size 16 / 20 solid contacts and supported stamped terminals
- Other contents
- Extraction tooling; compare the DC02 package image
Why choose this configuration?
- Choose this kit when its individual crimpers cover the contacts you actually service.
- The smaller kit has different contents from DC01; it is not simply a different color.
Check before ordering: Contact size is not AWG. Confirm the exact contact part number, conductor size, seal and crimp geometry. The tool itself does not give a connector a waterproof rating.







Match each tool to the contact
- IWD-16 / IWD-20: indent crimping for the supported size 16 / size 20 solid contacts. These are contact-size designations, not wire gauges.
- IWC-1424B: separate conductor and insulation-support crimps for its supported open-barrel terminals; follow the terminal drawing for the exact cavity and wire range.
- Extraction tools: select the appropriate release tip for the connector rather than pulling on the wire.
Typical workshop jobs
Repair damaged vehicle connectors, assemble accessory pigtails and service supported automotive or equipment harnesses. Identify whether your contacts are solid or stamped before selecting a crimper. Connector seals and housings must also match the wire and contact.
Preparation and inspection
Identify the contact; strip to the specified length; select the individual crimper; inspect conductor and insulation crimps; check retention and housing assembly.

KIT-DC01 — broader tool selection
The DC01 kit includes IWD-12, IWD-16 and IWD-20 solid-contact crimpers, IWC-1424A open-barrel and IWC-1424B Weather Pack / Metri-Pack crimpers, plus wedgelock and contact-removal tools. Refer to the kit image for the complete layout.
View KIT-DC01 buying options
KIT-DC02 — different configuration
KIT-DC02 lists IWD-16 and IWD-20 solid-contact crimpers, IWC-1424B Weather Pack / Metri-Pack tooling and contact-removal tools. Unlike DC01, it does not list IWD-12 or a dedicated IWC-1424A stamped-contact crimper. Match your exact terminal and wire size before choosing.

Contact size ≠ wire gauge. Check both before choosing your tool.
| Contact or task | Tool in KIT-DC01 | Check before use |
|---|---|---|
| Solid pins and sockets | IWD-12 / IWD-16 / IWD-20 | Match contact size 12 / 16 / 20 respectively, plus the supported wire range. Connector family alone is insufficient. |
| Stamped, open-barrel terminals | IWC-1424A | Match terminal geometry, wire size and the required conductor / insulation crimp. |
| Weather Pack / Metri-Pack 150 & 280 | IWC-1424B | Confirm terminal and seal dimensions and the correct crimp station. |
| Wedgelock and contact removal | ET-01 and matching extraction tools | Identify the housing, release method and contact size. Do not force a mismatched tool. |

Solid contacts and stamped contacts are different
A solid contact uses a closed crimp barrel. A stamped terminal has formed wings that fold over the conductor and insulation or seal. Select the matching crimper before preparing the wire.

KIT-DC01: solid-contact selection guide
These are tool-specific wire sizes, not the full wire range of every connector family. Match the exact contact part number, conductor size and current tool instructions. This table does not describe KIT-DC02.
| Crimper | Contact size | Supported wire (AWG) | Typical solid-contact family |
|---|---|---|---|
| IWD-12 | 12 | 12 | DTP |
| IWD-16 | 16 | 14 / 16 / 18 | DT |
| IWD-20 | 20 | 20 / 22 | DTM |
Use IWC-1424A for the appropriate stamped contacts; the solid-contact table above does not apply to stamped terminals. For Weather Pack / Metri-Pack, match the terminal, seal and crimp station to IWC-1424B.
What makes the setup repeatable?
The IWD solid-contact tools use four-sided indent crimping, a locator for contact placement and a ratchet mechanism. Correct positioning and a completed crimp cycle support a consistent workflow; they do not replace inspection of the finished connection.
Is this the right kit for your work?
For repair and custom harness work, the kit brings crimping and contact-removal tools together. If your drawing, customer or quality procedure specifies an approved tool, calibration record or measured pull-test acceptance, confirm those requirements before purchase.
Before completing your harness
- Identify — Confirm the terminal part number, solid or stamped barrel, wire gauge and insulation/seal requirements.
- Prepare — Follow the terminal maker’s strip-length instructions. Avoid nicked strands and check that all strands enter the barrel.
- Position and crimp — Use the matching tool and contact position. Complete the tool’s operating cycle according to its instructions.
- Inspect — Check conductor position, crimp formation and housing retention. Perform any pull tests specified for your application; a hand tug is not a measured pull test.
Plan the harness around the connection
Vehicle repairs
Replace or service compatible connectors on cars, trucks and RVs. Confirm the original terminal specification.
Custom wiring
Organize tooling for motorcycle, motorsport and accessory harness projects. Check current rating, wire size and connector requirements separately.
Connector servicing
Use the appropriate wedgelock and extraction tool for depinning. Inspect the terminal and housing before reuse.

FAQ
Does contact size 16 mean 16 AWG?
No. Contact size describes the contact system; AWG describes wire size. Match both the contact and its permitted conductor range to the tool.
Can I use the same crimper for solid and stamped contacts?
Do not treat them as interchangeable. Use the specified solid-contact crimper or the appropriate open-barrel crimper for the terminal.
Are KIT-DC01 and KIT-DC02 identical?
No. They are different configurations with different contents and prices. Check the selected variant and its image before adding it to your cart.
Does this kit guarantee a waterproof connection?
No. Environmental sealing depends on the compatible housing, contacts, seals, wire dimensions and correct assembly. The crimping tool alone does not establish a waterproof rating.
How should I check my first crimp?
Follow the terminal manufacturer's preparation and inspection requirements. Check conductor position, crimp formation and any specified retention or pull testing before completing the harness.
