An electric hydraulic crimper for battery cable and heavy copper and aluminium lugs, in the range where hand crimpers stop being practical. The pump does the work, so a large terminal takes seconds rather than a lot of effort on long handles.
Key features
Hydraulic head with roughly 12 tons of output force
Crimping range from 6 AWG up to 800 MCM
Twelve standard American die sets supplied in the case
360 degree swivel head, so awkward terminals can be reached in place
42 mm (1.65 in) stroke for large lugs
Suits copper and aluminium cable terminals
Crimping range: 6 AWG to 800 MCM
Output force: approximately 12 tons (70 MPa)
Stroke: 42 mm (1.65 in)
Dies: 12 piece standard American set
Head: 360 degree swivel
How to use it
Pick the die that matches the lug, not the cable - the lug barrel is what is being formed. Strip the cable to the barrel depth, seat it fully, and run the crimp through a complete cycle until the dies close. Check the finished crimp for a clean, even form with no cracking, and give large lugs two crimps along the barrel.
