10-22 AWG HEX Wire Crimper Tool

Correct me if i am wrong. 50mm2 is equal to somewhere around 1/0 AWG and 6mm2 is equal to somewhere between #10 and #8awg. Its close to #9 which I have never seen in the states. I assume you are making battery cables?

Its only a good deal if you can buy lugs designed for this crimper, otherwise you might end up with a loose crimp or over deformed.

I went thru this exercise with a metric hydraulic crimper from E bay. It either under crimped #2awg welding cable or over deformed with the next smaller die.

if you are doing battery cables, look at the ankor hex crimp tool because they make the lugs that match the tool in AWG.

Spridle is correct. I have one of these and it can be coaxed to crimp AWG sizes. Crimp partially, then rotate the terminal and line the flats up again then finish the crimp. Maybe even do it in three steps. If you just crimp in one go, it will ooze out terminal metal where the dies meet. I've crimped as small as 10 gauge with it and as large as 1 AWG.

Thanks.

The Cast terminals and lugs I use have walls three times as thick as regular cable terminals. So standard dies do not work very well.

Yep, I do not see this specific tool doing 10 to 22AWg crimps.

I have used my HF hydraulic crimpers smallest dies on 10-12 to get a very nice hex crimp, but it is slow.

I've been using my Anderson powerpole crimpers with the plastic portion which holds the Andersons U hook shaped portion immobilized, removed for the Yellow Blue and red connectors 10-12 14-16 and 18-22, with the insulation stripped off, and they make a very nice crimp, quickly.

My HF dies are OK upto thin walled 4awg lugs( with the largest 0awg die). i have spent time with a grinder and a file to make dies from the smalest HF Dies for 2 1 and 0 AWG thick walled lugs.
