10 Tons Hydraulic Crimping Tool Battery Cable Lug Terminal Crimper with 9 Pairs of Dies, 12 AWG to 2/0 AWG Wire Crimping Tool

This thing makes 6 AWG crimps so beautiful and strong you really don’t want to cover them up with heatshrink. Great product at a great price!

I bought this to get some good crimps on some 2/0 awg cables. I only had a dozen crimps to make and it worked well though of course cannot speed on the topic of long term durability. I do wish the handles were a bit longer so there was a bit more leverage when crimping but that isn't much of a problem since this is not an everyday tool for me.I did notice some reviewers said the dies on their crimper were loose. Mine has the opposite issue where I have to tap on them and use a pair of pliers to remove them when I want to switch them out.

Works just fine. Seems like decent quality. I don't have that many cables to crimp. I'm going to say this isn't for the professional that is making hundreds of cables. For an amateur good price performance. I just wish it was made for single hand operation. You do have to do some contortion to get good crimps. holding the wire into the lug while operating is a bit of a challenge.

This tool works great!!! You do have to have it warm enough for the Hydraulics to work...I do recommend!!!

I've crimped 4 AWG, 8 AWG, and 10 AWG terminals, and Anderson plug connectors using this crimping tool. It's delivered on every occasion and I've been able to get excellent connections without needing to re-crimp or waste terminals. The crimping tool comes in a box and the instructions are handy and needed to decipher which size die is needed for different wire sizes. The tool could be slightly better balanced to make one person operations easier. I don't find it difficult to use it when I'm working with the cables in the shop but single person operations do become challenging when you've run cables in an automobile for example and need to crimp the terminal ends at odd angles or in confined spaces. In such instances, having a second person hold the wire and terminal, while not essential, is desirable. I can't speak of the longevity of the tool since I've only had it for a short amount of time, but it has so far has not let me down.

Very good

Works decently for the price after assembly on 4 cables. The #70 die doesn't crimp 2/0 as advertised. It barley makde a mark. I ended up using the #50 die and it worked great. Not sure if this would hold up for regular use but if you need it for a project or two, This will work

Hey it is not a $300 to $1500 professional tool. And yes it has metric not AWG dies (welcome to the global market).But it worked very well for my boat overhaul, I crimped over 15 2AWG, 10 4AWG, 15 6AWG and at least 20 8AWG terminals without problem. And it is ready for future projects.1. Be careful, take your time and it works.2. Hand held crimp tools can be a little awkward. I found it easy to start the press until it was firmly holding the lug.3. Then inserted the pre-trimmed wire, with heat shrink pre-cut and slipped over the wire.4. Crimp firmly but stop when the dies touch. Over pumping will just risk blowing out the seals.5. If you start to get "wings" squeezing out between the dies near the end of the crimp, stop. This is common to many crimp dies and soft lugs. Once you have wings you're not going to get a tight crimp by just pumping harder.6. Release a little. Rotate the lug 90 degrees and press again to flatten the wings and finish with a tight crimp.Check the C clamp head occasionally to be sure it doesn't unscrew from the body and you should not have any leaks or problems.With a little bit of care I got very good results at a fraction of the cost of custom ordered cables or a more expensive tool.
