Abstract: Disclosed is a device and method for testing a crimping status of a hardware fitting and cable conductors. The device includes a device body, a cable fixing assembly is arranged on an insulation console and configured to fix a crimping status test piece on the insulation console. According to the present disclosure, technical problems are solved: the existing device for testing a crimping status of a hardware fitting and cable conductors lacks of a fixing assembly, if an operator touches a test piece being tested, the connection between the test piece and a current generator or a contact resistance tester is likely to be interrupted, resulting in a large error in a test result.
