Discuss Through Crimp Tool in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net
What make/model is that? The link earlier is for a "Vinteky Hydraulic Crimper Tool Kit" which looks very similar, but only claims to go down to 4mmAnything approaching 6mm and over I find cant be crimped using a ratchet tool, I use a hydraulic crimper, even on 2.5mm solid it gives a very good connection using inline crips, the one in the yellow box below.

I've the same hydraulic set and do the same. I use handheld CK's for >4mm, ratchet CK's for 6-10-16 and then go hydraulic after - you just need that third hand, though!!Anything approaching 6mm and over I find cant be crimped using a ratchet tool, I use a hydraulic crimper, even on 2.5mm solid it gives a very good connection using inline crips, the one in the yellow box below.
The yellow box helpfully says "Tools" on the outside the tool itself says "Yok70", and indeed it only has a 4mm crimp as its minimum, but that is the mandrel size not the cable, as Rockingit says because the hydraulic stroke is short, it requires a number of movements of the handle to operate, not having a spring return you need two hands to operate it and another to hold whatever you are crimping, I did find with use I could operate it with one hand, but it is awkward.What make/model is that?
