Best and most honest review! (read my pros and cons) - PROS: Low price, feels and works solidly (doesn't feel cheap). Nice case. Multiple dies. Crimps what non-hydraulic crimpers can never accomplish. One year no hassle warranty included. Comes with extra o-rings. Worth it to pay a little more for this one because the cheaper ones have those silver color dies that's are not as strong as these darker dies. Excellent value for the money. This thing is a beast! CONS: When crimping pure copper 1/0 lugs, the hydraulic strength isn't strong as I would like. I'd rather pay a bit more for one with a larger hydraulic cylinder. That's because when fully crimped, sometimes the lug is still slightly loose so you need to either crimp again (the dies should be wider because one crimp only covers 1/2 of the crimpable area) or use the next smallest die to crimp further. If you think you can make one quick crimp and be done with it, you will be disappointed. Also, the dies slide to the left and right too much so you have to check carefully while crimping to make sure the two die halves line up properly. Also, it's not a true hex crimp. After crimping, it leaves two flat "wings" on opposite sides of the hex (see pic). That made it difficult to slide on shrink tubing designed for that lug size. Also, the "wings" make it appear unprofessional. The major thing is when crimping large 1/0 pure copper lugs (pure copper is stiffer than copper coated zinc lugs), it sure takes a lot of muscle to fully crimp. I'm pretty strong but luckily i was able to rest one handle on the ground to get more leverage. If crimping large pure copper lugs, it would help to be a body builder. Keep in mind, for the price, I would still recommend this. It's way better than a non-hydraulic crimper and using the hammer crimpers make it impossible to crimp when the wire isn't on solid ground such as repairing a cable end under the hood. In summary, if I were on the design team, I'd make a more expensive model with twice the hydraulic tonnage with larger handles or maybe an option to purchase handle "extensions" - longer handles will give you more leverage while crimping (I'm a welder too, so I plan on welding on handle extensions). Also, it should have dies that are wider and fit tighter when inserted in the unit. If you are using smaller gauge lugs, I'm sure this will exceed your expectations, but my thing is the reason people buy these hydraulic units is to crimp large lugs. Remember, for the price, you will still be happy. I'm happy too that's why I gave 5 stars. TIPS: When holding the crimper, keep it horizontal, and the dies will seat themselves to make an even hex shape, which will solve the "loose dies" problem. Also, if you have trouble finding enough strength to crimp, just slip some short metal pipe over the handles to give you more leverage. Good idea to wear goggles because when you reach the end of the crimp, you will be exerting so much force (1/0 pure copper lugs) that the tool can slip and smack you in the head. Also, be careful to watch the dies when near the end of the crimp. In other words, once the dies meet each other, if you keep crimping, the force of the hydraulics may compress the dies onto each other, damaging the dies. Review: Best crimper so far - I'm an off-grid solar installer, so I crimp battery cables all the time. Not only that, but I teach at a solar school where we have a lot of different crimpers for the students to practice with. This is the best crimper I've ever used... unless you want to compare it to the several thousand dollar super nice automatic ones... but short of that, this is the way to go. This is highly portable, super easy to use, pretty fast, nice and small, and fits into small locations. I haven't had it leak, but there are extra o-rings just in case it ever does. It is the most functional crimper I've used. It is slightly heavy, but that's offset by the fact that it's smaller than most, so the leverage makes it easy to hold it where you need it. ## Features - New for 2020, TH0005 Version 2.0. Released September 1st 2020, all units now include the following improved features - TRUE-HEX Crimp Forming dies apply uniform pressure on all sides for even compression and high pull out resistance. - 16 Standard size dies for American Wire Gauge 10 through 600MCM. Dies conform to DIN industrial standards and are compatible with all US domestic market terminals, including color coded lugs. Dies imprint the size into the crimped terminal for code compliance inspections. - 16 additional plus size dies cover the hard-to-fit non standard lugs like heavy cast or thin-wall terminals. All 32 dies are black oxide coated, Won’t chip or flake like chrome plated versions. - Capable of crimping all battery and welding cable, building wiring, crimp terminal lugs (including heavy cast lugs) combined with a 5 year warranty from a well-known American name. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HJXG3KM | | Best Sellers Rank | #70,535 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #248 in Crimpers | | Brand Name | TEMCo Industrial | | Color | Blue, Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (614) | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Handle Material | Aluminum | | Item Weight | 11.23 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | TEMCo Industrial | | Manufacturer Part Number | TH0005 | | Model Number | TH0005 | | Specific Uses For Product | Electrical Wiring, Construction, Industrial Maintenance | | UPC | 799491873506 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TEMCo Industrial - **Color:** Blue, Black - **Grip Type:** Ergonomic - **Handle Material:** Aluminum - **Item Weight:** 11.23 Kilograms ## Images ![TH0005 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gpgDzaocL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are the dies set up for code compliance? or weld lug / battery cable? ie k class 4 awg would fit in a 2-1ga code lug.. which die would do 4ga k class** A: Some of them for what I crimp (Anchor brand) are to large for the dies, so I have made a list as to which ones to use for that size cable. I suppose many brands are just not the same OD size **Q: Will this tool work with burndy or t&b lugs and ctaps** A: It works well with some depending on the size. I am using mostly T&B but also some copper lugs on 4/0 battery cable. I have had to use a small piece of aluminum cut the size of one of the flats to make the fit better. Too bad they don't offer more dies for non metric but so goes life. So, will it work for a DIY, yes, but I do not have an inspector looking over my shoulder. I have had some sizes end up with wings I would rather not have. For a professional job, I would stick with professional tools and fittings. It is the outer wall thickness that makes the crimp perfect every time when matched to a die for that size wire. Trying to use a metric die and different wall thicknesses is hit and miss but I did make it work with only a few wasted fittings. **Q: will the dies on this th0005 interchange with the th0006? Thanks.** A: They will not. Different design. **Q: do you have dies available for 600mcm wire?** A: It comes with them. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ READ BEFORE YOU BUY! Best and most honest review!

Makes a nice octagon style crimp. Used a large dual lever style for years. This gets into tighter spots. I always question why a company would need to send back up/ Replacement seals for the piston. Have used on #8, #4, #1 and mcm 250 so far. Seems to work ok. Lots of die combinations. Case seems ok, not sure how the cheap plastic will hold up bouncing around on a service truck for the next 10 years but for the price can't beat it. ## Frequently Bought Together - TEMCo Industrial Hydraulic Cable Lug Crimper TH0005 V2.0 (11 US TON) 10 AWG to 600 MCM Electrical Terminal Cable Wire Tool Kit with 32 Die Sets - SELTERM 10pcs - 4/0 Awg - 5/16" Stud - Battery Lugs - Ring Terminal Connectors with 12pcs 3:1 Black & Red Heat Shrink Tubing with Adhesive | Heavy Duty Battery Cable Ends - Tinned Copper Wire Lugs Kit - TEMCo TH0002 400 MCM Wire and Cable Cutter - with 18 in.
