Hydraulic Crimping Tool
A hydraulic crimping tool gives a full, even crimp on large copper and aluminium lugs with a few easy strokes of the handle. Electricians, cable jointers, substation and solar contractors, and dealers use this range on power, earthing and battery cables. Each hydraulic lug crimping tool has the pump built in, so it works anywhere without power, and every hydraulic cable crimping tool takes dies matched to its lug range.

Hand Hydraulic Crimping Tool for Site and Panel Work
A hand hydraulic crimping tool builds pressure with each stroke, so even a large lug is pressed fully without strain. The dies shape the barrel evenly around the conductor, which keeps contact resistance low and the joint cool under load. Pick a hydraulic crimper by the largest lug you fit and the cable you use most, and refer to each product page for its lug range. A clean, fully closed crimp also passes inspection first time, which saves rework on site.
