Product Information

Full details

The VEVOR Hydraulic Crimping Tool (YQ-70A+LK-60A) is an essential asset for electricians and DIY enthusiasts who require reliable, high-pressure cable lug crimping for professional-grade electrical installations. This tool delivers a 6T crimping force, ensuring secure connections for copper and aluminum terminals ranging from AWG 12 to 2/0 (4-70 mm²). While the tool provides excellent hydraulic leverage, users should note that it requires manual pumping action, which may be more time-consuming for heavy-duty, repetitive industrial projects compared to electric alternatives.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this tool work with aluminum lugs?

Yes, it is designed for both copper and aluminum terminals within the 4-70 mm² range.

Can I replace the hydraulic oil?

Yes, if the tool loses power or leaks, the hydraulic system can be serviced, though it is recommended to use standard hydraulic oil.

What is the maximum gauge this tool can handle?

The maximum capacity is 2/0 AWG (70 mm²).

Does the kit include everything needed to start crimping?

Yes, the kit includes the crimper, 9 die sets, a wire cutter, gloves, terminals, and heat shrink.

Is this tool battery-operated?

No, this is a manually operated hydraulic tool that requires pumping the handle.

Troubleshooting

The crimping tool fails to build pressure

Ensure the release valve is turned fully clockwise to the 'closed' position.

The crimping head does not retract after a crimp

Ensure the release valve is turned counter-clockwise to allow the hydraulic fluid to return to the reservoir.

Incomplete crimp on heavy gauge wire

Check that the die set size matches the cable gauge correctly and ensure the handle is pumped until the internal pressure relief engages.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High crimping force ensures permanent and safe electrical connections
  • Comprehensive kit includes all necessary accessories for immediate use
  • Head rotation simplifies operation in tight electrical panels
  • Wide range of dies covers most common residential and light-commercial wire sizes

Cons

  • Manual hydraulic pumping requires physical effort for every crimp
  • Not suitable for high-volume, rapid-production industrial manufacturing lines
  • Heavier than manual hand-crimping tools

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the tool, open the hydraulic release valve, select the appropriate die set for your lug size, and insert them into the crimping head jaws. Place the cable-loaded lug between the dies and close the release valve tightly. Pump the handle until you feel the crimping process complete, then open the valve to retract the ram.

Care Instructions:

  • Always wipe the tool clean after use to remove metal shavings or debris.
  • Inspect the hydraulic seals periodically for any signs of oil leakage.
  • Store the tool in its provided case to prevent dust contamination of the hydraulic system.
  • Occasionally apply a light machine oil to the moving hinge points of the head to maintain smooth rotation.
