It's a bit of a beast weight-wise, at 6.4 kg net, but honestly, that steel construction is what makes it survive 13 tons of force without flexing — most aluminum-frame tools can't handle repeated heavy-duty jobs without wearing out.
A lot of buyers assume electric is better, but manual pump gives you more precise feedback, and you're not tied to a power source or worrying about battery life on site.
The click mechanism is the real tell for qualiy; it releases pressure only when the full 13 tons is reached, so there's no guessing whether a 300mm² copper lug is properly seated, which is a common failure point with cheaper ratchet types.
We're shipping with a full die set for 10-300mm (roughly 14 pieces), all in a plastic case, and the head rotates 180°, which actually helps a lot inside switchgear panels where you've got maybe 6 inches of clearance.
That 7.4 kg shippng weight is with the case and accessories, so you'll want to factor that if you're air-freighting (usually 2-4 weeks by sea, but our company can do DHL for sample orders).
Lead time is about 20 days or so form order, and we do have stock on the 13-ton units right now, but confirm if you need a specific die profile like DIN or AWG early.
Our MOQ is 10 units per order. We can do smaller trial orders if you're just testing the product, but standard pricing kicks in at 10.
We can supply a material certificate for the steel construction and a test report verifying the 13-ton pressure output. CE and ISO certifications are available upon request.
It includes a full set of crimping dies covering 10mm² through 300mm², both for copper and aluminum lugs. You won't need to buy additional dies separately.
Yes, the head rotates 180 degrees to help you reach awkward positions. It doesn't lock at specific angles, but the friction holds it in place during use.
It comes in a plastic case inside a carton, with the dies and tool secured. Lead time is typically 7-10 working days for stock orders.
