Compression Lug and Splice Ratchet Crimpers
The ratchet applies the correct pressure to ensure a complete crimp every time. The dies are built into the rotating head.
Crimpers with color-coded dies are colored to show you which die to use when attaching connectors to electrical wire.
Crimpers with a reference chart also work with 8- to 4/0-gauge battery terminals and heavy duty power lugs (you must use comparable battery terminal settings). Their reference chart shows you which die to use when attaching connectors to wire.

Crimping Tools for Press-Connect Fittings for Drinking Water
- Tubing: Use with hard polyethylene plastic
Create a leak-tight seal between polyethylene (PEX) tubing and press-connect fittings for drinking water—no heat or solder necessary. The ratchet action lets you apply the right amount of pressure for a complete crimp. To ensure you’re using the correctly sized tool, they are color coded to match the compatible fittings. These tools are compatible with Viega PEX tubing and Viega PureFlow Press fittings.
Copper tube size is the accepted designation of the copper tubing industry, not the actual tube OD.
