Will this work?** A: ...It could be done. With that being said, a significant amount of space/force is needed to perform the crimp. The tool is ~23" long and the handle must open ~ 90Β° (less if you get a little creative). You might want to consider a Hydraulic Cable Lug Crimper alternative. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HJXHX1K/ref=s9_acsd_simh_hd_bw_b2Jxg_c_x_4_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_r=D8K0AHF10A6BQ872QX94&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=3ac0a1da-7ca7-5437-a562-f607943a49aa&pf_rd_i=553392UPDATE: JayD is correct in that 4 awg (and below) shouldn't be to bad; I kept flashing back to all the 4/0 crimps I did... Unless you are considerably strong, 4/0 should be done against a flat/secure surface. **Q: Where is it made?** A: Sorry I don't have the tool handy, but I believe it is made in China. The quality is very good. My marine supply store uses this crimper and it gets used a LOT at that store. Their' crimper has gotten a little sloppy over the years, but still works fine. I wasn't going to buy one because when I looked, they were close to four hundred dollars. This crimper is an excellent value. I was skeptical when I ordered it, even though it looked just like the one I used for 6.5 hours at my marine suppler building 22 power cables for my boat. **Q: Is this tool effective for crimping non-insulated aluminum & copper lugs on copper wiring?** A: works as described, I like it on larger lugs **Q: How long and heavy is this tool?** A: 22" long and weight 6 lbs 13oz. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best crimper ever *by D***R on June 21, 2025* As a retired civil engineer building out a promaster van, I became concerned about the necessity of correctly installed crimps.

Wire gage size is set with a convenient round headed worm screw mechanism that moves the V shaped fixture. The long handle provides excellent mechanical leverage, and the robust, heavy metal construction of the tool enables you to apply whatever pressure is needed to affect a good crimp. I highly recommend this tool if you need to affix terminal lugs to larger cables. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tried a cheap hydraulic crimper before this one. Finally, good crimps! *by S***T on May 30, 2025* Crimps are excellent and easy to make. I hate to nitpick, but as others have said the base could be wider to keep the tool from tipping while you crimp, but it isn't that big of a deal. Little tip: put the lug in and gently lower the handle so it holds the lug in place, then put the wire in. I tried a cheap hydraulic crimper before I bought this one, and the dies were not made correctly (they were metric and they wanted to pretend they magically crimp standard; but they either crimped loose or with wings). this TEMCo crimper works much better I also like how there is basically nothing to fail on this crimper. I normally prefer hydraulic, but I had a feeling the cheap hydraulic crimper would have failed eventually (it came with seals which some may think is neat, but I considered it a red flag of the quality) so to each their own. Considering they couldn't make the dies the right size I'll stick to my assumption on the hydraulic quality of that cheap crimper. Highly recommend you get this TEMCo crimper. If you are just looking into getting a crimper for larger cables, or if you've had a bad experience with a cheaper crimper like I did, get this one, you'll get good crimps with barely any effort. Just hold the tool in a way it doesn't doesn't tip and you are good to go. ## Frequently Bought Together - TEMCo Lug Crimper Tool TH0012-8 AWG - 0000 AWG(4/0) DIELESS Indent Electrical Battery Terminal Cable Wire 5 YEAR WARRANTY - TEMCo TH0002 400 MCM Wire and Cable Cutter - with 18 in.
