WILMINGTON, Mass., July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Heilind Electronics, the largest distributor of interconnect, electromechanical and wire & cable products in North America, together with Tyco Electronics, the world's largest interconnect manufacturer, introduces the BT 3500 Battery-Hydraulic Hand Tool, the newest member to its power tool line up.   The BT 3500 hand tool provides the operator with an impressive 3,500 pounds (15.6 kN) of crimping force in a compact, portable design.

The BT 3500 is an ergonomic marvel as its unique design positions the battery and pump in a separate unit which can be either worn by the operator in several different configurations or setup on a benchtop. The system comes with a standard shoulder strap; an optional belt and four-point harness are also available to permit a total custom fit.
