Re: [RE-wrenches] Electric Crimper Recommendations

[Kienan Maxfield]

Chad,

How does that DeWalt large wire stripper work for ultra fine stranded cable, 
such as our typical 4/0 battery cable?

Thanks,
Kienan

I think it was about $3K with dies but we also go a free DeWalt large wire 
stripper with it as well. And yes, it does 4/0 battery lugs like a champ.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Electric Crimper Recommendations

[Corey Shalanski]

Hi Chris,

When our company began installing utility-scale PV projects, we purchased a
Milwaukee M18 FORCE LOGIC crimper (
https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Electrical-Installation/Crimpers).
I haven't personally worked with any other brands of electric crimpers, so
I cannot offer any comparative feedback, but as you said it definitely "cut
down on the struggle" and quickly became a prized tool amongst our
installers. Since we worked with a wide variety of equipment (inverters,
switchboards, transformers, etc.) with a variety of conductor sizes, we
opted to purchase one of the accompanying multi-size die kits. All in, I
recall the crimper + die kit costing us around $3000. I'm guessing you
would be able to bypass the whole-hog die kit and instead purchase just a
few different die sizes for your battery lugs - and thereby save some money.

We started buying premade cables, and only do a few crimps per job now.  
Don't miss cable making at all.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Electric Crimper Recommendations

[frenergy]

John,

            If you can make up the cables in your shop, I've been 
putting one of the handles of the BA hand crimper in the vice. You can 
then put your all on the 'free' handle, much better for 4/0 magnalugs.  
Out in the field it is a grunt for sure.  Sorry no idea about electric.

[RE-wrenches] Electric Crimper Recommendations

[Chris Sparadeo]

Hi all,

I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations for an electric crimper tool
for battery lugs? I see that they can get expensive quickly, but a tool
that cuts down on the struggle is a tool worth considering.

Thanks in advance!
