WBHomeHydraulic Wire Crimper Battery Lug Terminal Cable Crimping Tool, 8 Dies, 12 Ton

Great value. Works well. 10x better than doing it by hand.

This crimper is not very cheap, but it is well made and works extremely well. It is easy to use.It is important to make sure your lug is filled by the cable's wire. If the lug is bigger than the wire (actual fit, not the labels on lug or wire), you will have the excess lug material squeezed out of the dies to form "wings." If the lug ID closely matches the wire OD, your crimp will be perfect: not a hint of "wings."I fear that wire labels have become optimistic (inflated): actual metal in the cable is less than what the cable's label says. This can lead to ugly crimps - if the person crimping relies on the labels and doesn't check the actual fit between lug and wire. I found some cable labelled 4AWG that fit very nicely into a lug labelled 6AWG - at this combination made a wonderful crimp using the 6AWG/16DIM dies. Had I used a 4AWG lug and 4AWG/25DIM dies on this "4AWG" cable, I would have produced a loose crimp with pronounced wings.The dies are labelled in the DIM system, but a conversion to AWG is included. I used a paint pen to label the dies with AWG sizes. This conversion table is accurate.

احببت جودته وعملي جدا وبسعر مناسب افضل من السوق المحلي بكثير جدا اقل من نصف السعر

I am in my 60s and worked on big trucks all my life. I used to solder battery cables etc together, but when I saw this tool, I had to have it. It works great. Every crimp I make with it is perfect.I even use it on smaller wires such as alternator and starter wires, and because it comes with a large selection of sizes, you can pretty well crimp any wire you want. I am very happy with this tool, and would be lost with out it.,Thanks for making a great tool that saves alot of time.,, Wes May

Overall this crimper works well and created consistent crimps for 4 of my 00 gauge battery terminal connectors and 4 smaller connectors. All the crimps seem strong and look decent. It was able to exert enough force for every crimp and I had no major issues.Pros:-Cheap-Works well, especially if you aren't planning on doing any major crimping jobs consistently-Cons:-Overall build quality is mediocre at best-Case fitment isn't great-Dies fitment can be a little difficult especially if you are trying to put the dies in while the slot isn't verticalOverall this is a good crimping tool if you are looking to crimp larger connectors and don't plan on doing them too often; the price is right.
