The HX50B Manual Crimping Tool is a heavy-duty hand tool designed for crimping cable lugs, connectors, and terminals with wire sizes ranging from 6mm² to 50mm². It is commonly used in electrical, automotive, and industrial applications where secure, high-pressure crimps are required.

Key Features of the HX50B Manual Crimping Tool:

1. Wide Crimping Range – Supports 6mm² to 50mm² (AWG 10 to AWG 1/0) cables.

2. Ratchet Mechanism – Ensures a complete, irreversible crimp for safety and reliability.

3. Interchangeable Dies – Compatible with different crimp profiles (e.g., hexagonal, square, insulated/non-insulated terminals).

4. High Leverage Design – Reduces hand force required for crimping thick cables.

5. Durable Construction – Forged steel or alloy body for long-term use.

6. Ergonomic Handles – Non-slip grips for comfortable operation.

Common Applications:

• Electrical wiring (solar panels, battery terminals, industrial control panels).

• Automotive & marine (battery cables, grounding lugs).

• Telecom & power distribution (crimping copper and aluminum connectors).

• DIY & professional installations.

How to Use the HX50B Crimping Tool:

1. Select the correct die for your cable lug size.

2. Insert the terminal & cable into the crimper.

3. Squeeze the handles until the ratchet releases (ensures full crimp).

4. Inspect the crimp for a secure, uniform deformation.

Recommended Accessories:

• Hexagonal dies (for standard crimps).

• Battery lug crimping dies (for automotive/energy storage).
