This 10 ton hydraulic crimper makes clean, consistent crimps on battery cable lugs and terminals from 12 AWG up to 2/0 AWG, in copper or aluminum. It comes with eight pairs of quick-change chrome-plated steel dies, and the C-shaped head can be used at multiple angles. Compared with hammer crimpers, hydraulic crimping takes far less effort and doesn't tear the wire.
