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.

Dieless Compression Lug and Splice Crimpers
No dies to buy or change—this tool has settings you adjust for different compression connector sizes. A reference chart on the tool shows you the correct settings, which you adjust with the turn of a single screw. The head has a flat surface for standing the tool up. The handles telescope 13” for increased leverage.
Dies for Cordless Compression Lug and Splice Crimpers
Attach these dies to your cordless crimper to secure compression lug and butt splice connectors onto cable. They’re easy to swap out, so you can quickly crimp across a range of connector sizes.

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.

Cordless Compression Lug and Splice Crimpers
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).
Crimpers with a straight handle are thinner than crimpers with an angled head, so they fit into tighter spaces.
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.

Cordless Dieless Compression Lug and Splice Crimpers
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).
Crimpers with a straight handle have a thin profile, so they fit in tight spaces. Crimpers with an angled handle give you an ergonomic grip when working on a table or workbench.
Crimpers with one-point indent form a consistent crimp that resembles a half-moon. 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.

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.
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.
Crimpers with one-point indent form a consistent crimp that resembles a half-moon.
