Rhin-O-Tuff’s KF-50KB Krimp-Fast Crimper Review

Rhin-O-Tuff makes some of the most durable binding equipment around, especially when it comes to color coil machines. If you have such a device, you should know that the company manufactures an excellent accessory for it: the KF-50KB Krimp-Fast Crimper. Here’s everything you need to know about it so you can decide if it’s the right crimper for you.

• The first thing you need to know about the KF-50KB is that it’s not a full-fledged coil binding machine. This is what’s called a “crimper.” It’s designed to turn up the ends of your coils are your documents have been bound. (This is known as “crimping.”) Crimping the coils is a necessary step in the binding process because it prevents them from spinning out of your documents, which would mean you’d have to start the whole process over again.
• Most crimpers are handheld and learning to use them properly can be difficult. Luckily, the KF-50KB is really easy to use. You can attach this device to your Rhin-O-Tuff binding machine so it’s always nearby and you won’t have to hunt for it, unlike a pair of crimpers.
• This device is compatible with spines from are 6 to 50 millimeters in diameter, so no matter what the size of your document, you’ll be able to crimp the coil. You have the choice between two different tail lengths: 15 and 50 mm, so choose the one that best suits your document. Also, so long as you’re working with spines of those sizes, you won’t need any special tools, which is very convenient.
• The KF-50KB is compatible with a number of Rhin-O-Tuff devices including the HD-4170  and the HD-e4100 coil inserters, as well as the PC-248 binding machine. You can also use it as a stand-alone device if you own a binding device from another manufacturer. (Note: if you choose to use it on its own, you’ll need to purchase a mounting box for it.)
• This crimper has an ergonomically friendly handle. It’s comfortable to use even when you need to put together a lot of books.
• The KF-50KB is nice and compact with dimensions of 2.25” (height) x 6” (width) x 7.5” (depth). It only weighs 3 pounds.
• Finally, this crimper is covered by a one-year manufacturer’s warranty so you can get it repaired or replaced if necessary.

Overall, the KF-50KB from Rhin-O-Tuff  is an excellent device to get if you’re interested in binding with color coils. This device is much easier to use than a pair of crimping pliers and it will enable you to crimp as  many coils as possible. It’s terrific that this device can be used in conjunction with other Rhin-O-Bind equipment but that you can also use it on its own if you choose. This device is also very compact, ergonomically friendly, and it comes with a great warranty. If you need a crimper, consider taking a look at the KF-50KB. It’s a much better choice than a pair of crimping pliers, that’s for sure.
