Hawk Crimper

HAWK – PLAIN DETONATOR CRIMPER AND FUSE CUTTER

The Hawk Crimper and Cutter is designed to minimize the risk of injury during fuse capping. Standard detonators are now more powerful as mining explosives are less sensitive and more difficult to initiate. Number 8 (star) detonators are now the “industry standard” to reliably initiate emulsion explosives. The accidental initiation of a number 8 during fuse capping is likely to result in serious hand and eye injuries as the fragments of the case are propelled at very high speed.

PLEASE NOTE: If a detonator does accidentally initiate inside the Hawk Crimper YOU COULD STILL BE INJURED. Your hand could be bruised or jarred or, in the worst case, bones broken by the handle.
