    Angled Handle

    Make quick, consistent crimps from connector to connector with these battery-powered crimpers. They are faster and require less effort than ratcheting crimpers—just press the trigger to crimp. Switch out the dies to make crimps on a wide range of connector sizes. A pressure sensor monitors the force of each crimp and alerts you if the pressure is too low to make a complete connection. Connect these tools to a mobile app using Bluetooth to change settings and view usage data. You can also view the pressure level, battery life, and other diagnostics on the display. The head rotates 350°, so you can position these tools to crimp at difficult angles. An LED light on the front illuminates your workspace.
    Pair them with a crimping die (sold separately) that matches the size and type of your connector. Insert the cable into the connector, line up the connector with the crimping die, and press the trigger to crimp. Jaws open automatically when you release the trigger. These crimpers create UL-certified connections when paired with connectors from Anderson, Blackburn, Burndy, Ilsco, Panduit, Penn-Union, and Thomas & Betts (T & B).
    Straight Handle—Crimpers with a straight handle are thinner than crimpers with an angled head, so they fit into tighter spaces.
    Angled Handle—Crimpers with an angled handle are more comfortable to hold when crimping parallel to a table or workbench. They have a higher compression force for crimping larger gauges of wire.
    Cannot Be Sold Outside United States—Replacement batteries and chargers cannot be sold outside the United States due to product regulations.

    Tools with a plier nose are useful for pulling and looping wire.
    Tools with a voltage detector safely test for AC voltage without contacting live wires. Light and sound indicators alert you when over 50 volts AC is detected. The detector is attached to the tool’s handle; remove it from the handle to use it on its own.

    Crimping

    Save time and energy crimping across different connector sizes in high-volume applications—these battery-powered tools crimp without you having to change out any dies. Instead, they automatically adjust to the size of your connector. They’re faster than ratchet crimpers and because they activate with the press of a trigger, there’s less repetitive motion. A built-in pressure sensor monitors the force of each crimp to make sure the connection is complete every time. If the pressure is too low, you’ll hear a beep and see an LED flash. Connect these crimpers to your mobile device using Bluetooth to change settings and view usage data from an app. You can also check the pressure level, battery level, and other diagnostics from the LCD display on the crimper. The head rotates 350°, so you can maneuver these tools to crimp at difficult angles. An LED light on the front illuminates your workspace.
    These crimpers create UL-certified connections when paired with connectors from Anderson, Blackburn, Burndy, Ilsco, Panduit, Penn-Union, or Thomas Betts (T&B).
    Straight Handle—Crimpers with a straight handle have a thin profile, so they fit in tight spaces.
    Angled Handle—Crimpers with an angled handle give you an ergonomic grip when working on a table or workbench.
    One-Point-Indent Crimping—Crimpers with one-point indent form a consistent crimp that resembles a half-moon.
    Four-Point-Indent Crimping—Crimpers with four-point indent form a more secure connection than crimpers with a one-point indent. These crimpers work with a wider range of wire gauges than one-indent crimpers with the same compression force.
    Cannot Be Sold Outside United States—Replacement batteries and chargers cannot be sold outside the United States due to product regulations.

    Hydraulic Compression Lug and Splice Crimpers

    Image of System. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Wire and Cable Crimpers. Hydraulic Compression Lug and Splice Crimpers.
    The high-pressure pumping system in these crimpers creates enough force to crimp large copper and aluminum lugs. They come with a replaceable pressure cartridge that lasts for 10,000 to 12,000 compressions. They crimp using dies, so they crimp a wider range of lug sizes and are less complicated than dieless crimpers. The head swivels 180°.
    Dies are required. These crimpers 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.

    Electrically-Insulating Electrical Wire Stripper/Crimpers

    Insulated handles protect against shock from accidental contact with live electrical circuits while stripping wire or crimping connectors. These tools are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505. The plier nose is useful for pulling and looping wire.

    Crimping

    The high-pressure pumping system in these crimpers creates enough force to crimp large copper and aluminum lugs without using dies. Instead of dies, adjust the settings for different compression connector sizes. The head rotates 350° so you can crimp at any angle and maneuver these tools in tight spaces. Each crimper includes 10 test kits for periodically testing that the pumping system activates at the proper pressure.
    One-Point-Indent Crimping—Crimpers with one-point indent form a consistent crimp that resembles a half-moon.
    Four-Point-Indent Crimping—Crimpers with four-point indent form a more secure connection than crimpers with a one-point indent, but have a lower compression force and cannot be used with as large of lugs.
