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.
