Heavy Duty 6-120mm² Hexagonal Crimping Tool, 650mm

The Heavy Duty Hexagonal Crimping Tool from Duratool is a professional-grade hand tool engineered for creating secure and consistent crimps on large electrical cables. Its robust 650mm steel frame is designed with a leverage-action mechanism, providing the significant force required to compress copper and aluminium lug terminals and tubes ranging from 6mm² to 120mm² in cross-section. This power ensures reliable, gas-tight connections that are essential for high-current applications.

A key feature of this tool is its quick-select rotating ring system. The rings are clearly marked with embossed gauge codes on the jaws, allowing for fast and accurate size selection. Once the correct size is chosen, a spring-loaded pin locks it securely in place, preventing accidental changes during the crimping process and guaranteeing precision every time.

For operator comfort during demanding tasks, the tool is fitted with long, tubular handles covered in durable PVC grips. These provide a comfortable, non-slip hold and enhanced control, reducing hand fatigue. The hexagonal compression profile of the dies is a critical design element, as it ensures a uniform, six-sided crimp that distributes pressure evenly around the terminal or tube. This results in a firm, consistent, and highly conductive connection that minimises resistance and heating.

This versatile crimper is suitable for use with both un-insulated copper lugs and copper tube connectors, making it an indispensable tool for electricians, engineers, and technicians working in industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty electrical installations. Its durable construction and thoughtful design features make it a reliable choice for any professional toolkit where quality and performance are paramount.
