Product Review - Hydraulic Lug Crimping Tool (AMZCNC)

[@Richard1977]

Right tool, wrong lug.
You need a thick wall lug like a DIN lug.

[@slimanus8m]

Comments on Amazon says that it leaks oil after a few uses / stop working / other problems
How long did you use it? is it reliable?

[@dyslectische]

People use it wrong.
Think that it full 100% close .
That is not.
On the moment you have to set a lot pressure on it by the end .
You go to far and than you damage the o ring in the unit.
That easy to replace with a new o ring.
And its fine again

​@@dyslectische Can you clarify your statement please?

[@dyslectische]

@@kimoclyde what ?
That you need to use din certificat lugs (eu ) with mm2 and not usa awg lug
Or that if you see on the side that by press the lug with the correct lug type (again din)
That the moment the piece of the clamp hit you are done.
And that some people use it wrong to try to press harder and harder.
For the rest again the max is 70mm2 lugs on copper and aluminum is just 50mm2 .
With steal cables its even lower than that.
I do cable replacement in a boat from lead battery to lifepo4.
So i had the replace all cable from 10mm2 to 70mm2 cable for all new inverters .
I have use this unit now for more than 40 lugs .
And i have zero leaks or damage.
And all lugs are nice connect on the cable.
