    Compression Lug and Splice Ratchet Crimpers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire and Cable Crimpers. 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.
    Reference Chart—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.

    Four-Point-Indent

    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.
