FAQs

What wire sizes does the HX-50B crimper support?

The HX-50B supports wire cable sizes from 6mm² up to 50mm², which corresponds to AWG 8, 6, 4, 2, 1, and 1/0.

Is this tool suitable for electrical wire, not just battery cables?

This tool is specifically designed and optimized for crimping battery cable lugs. While it may crimp other types of terminals, its primary design is for robust battery cable applications.

How do I maintain the crimping tool?

Keep the tool clean and dry. Lubricate the pivot point periodically. Inspect the jaws regularly for any signs of damage or wear.

What material is the crimping tool made from?

The tool is constructed from hardened steel for maximum durability.

Does the tool come with different dies for different wire sizes?

The tool features individual settings for crimping wire cable sizes from 6mm² to 50mm², meaning the dies are integrated and adjustable for these specific ranges, rather than being separate interchangeable dies.

How much does the crimping tool weigh?

The tool weighs approximately 2.99 pounds.

Troubleshooting

Crimping lug is loose or not secure

Ensure the correct wire gauge is selected for the crimping die. Make sure the lug is fully seated in the die and sufficient force was applied. Inspect the tool's jaws for wear.

Tool is difficult to operate

Check that the pivot point is clean and lubricated. Ensure there are no obstructions in the jaws. Verify you are using the correct die setting for the wire size.

Jaws do not align properly

Inspect the jaws for any bent metal or debris. If damaged, professional repair or replacement may be necessary. Ensure the tool is fully opened before attempting a new crimp.
