Quick-Change Terminal and Splice Ratchet Crimpers

Dies snap in and out of this tool, so you can quickly change from crimping one electrical connector type to another. The ratchet applies the correct pressure to ensure a complete crimp every time.

Dies are one piece and marked with a drawing of the connector type for easy identification.

Hydraulic Compression Lug and Splice Crimpers

The most crimping force we offer—these tools have a high-pressure pumping system with a replaceable pressure cartridge that lasts for 10,000 to 12,000 compressions. The head swivels 180°.

Dies are required. The tools accept U-type dies for Alcoa, Burndy, Panduit, T&B, and Blackburn 12-ton tools. We list lug markings for two common manufacturers to help choose the correct die for your compression lug.

Rope Compression Sleeves—Not for Lifting

Compressed Sleeve

Sleeve

Install with a compression tool to create a strong, permanent loop. They're also known as swaging and splicing sleeves, crimps, and ferrules. They're compatible with Nicopress compression tools.

Warning: Fittings must match rope diameter and be installed correctly to obtain maximum holding power. Test all assemblies for required strength before use.

Lever-Operated Crimpers

Place your hose, ferrule, and barbed fitting into a die that's inserted in the crimper. Press the lever to crimp the fitting onto the hose. Use with aluminum or brass ferrules. Fasteners not included.

Individual dies (sold separately) allow you to crimp large sizes of air and water hose from 3/4" to 1 3/8" OD (measured without the fittings installed).
