Overview
A hydraulic hand crimping tool covering 4 to 70 square millimeter lugs, roughly 12 to 00 AWG, that also cuts wire rope. It has a vinyl cushioned handle and weighs 3.51 kilograms, about 7.7 pounds.
This combines two jobs in one hydraulic hand tool: compressing copper or aluminum cable lugs across a 4-70mm2 range, and cutting wire rope or heavy cable with a separate cutting action. The weight reflects the hydraulic mechanism needed to compress larger lugs by hand rather than an electric or battery drive.
- Crimp range 4-70mm2 (12-00 AWG)
- Built-in wire rope cutter
- Vinyl handle
- 3.51 kilogram weight
Who it's for
Electricians and cable installers who need to crimp large-gauge lugs and cut wire rope on site without carrying two separate tools.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Wide crimp range from 4 to 70 square millimeters
- Doubles as a wire rope cutter
- Vinyl cushioned handle for grip
- Heavy at about 7.7 pounds
- No power source spec listed for the hydraulic pump
Performance notes
Hydraulic force lets a hand tool compress lugs at the larger end of the 4-70mm2 range, a job a purely mechanical hand crimper struggles with. The cutting function works as a separate action from the crimping die, aimed at wire rope rather than fine wire strands.
