Will this crimper work with Brundy barrel lugs on 250 mcm copper if so where can I find a link to AWG to metric conversion charts? Thanks

Jim, the crimper has more than enough power to crimp this connector, it comes with a good selection of dies that will work for your application, another source for the die size/ information is www.burndy.com glad to help, regards

Sorry, I have no answer for your application, but this crimping tool is working for us very well. We are using it with aluminum crimping SS steel cables, attaching zip lines on trees in Panama forest jungle.

If a regular connector works these will too. They make contact by piercing into each conductor when crimped. Unless you have a EZ crimp tool from Platinum I wouldn't buy these. This tool trims the edge where the wires poke out. I initially tried to make these work with an incompatible tool . Bought a platinum EZ crimp tool and they work great. Hope that helps.

Hello Scott,I bought these crimpers earlier this summer. I have used them for both mono and wire leaders and making 'double hook rigs' and have not had the slightest problem. They're great. Jim

Yes it can. I have only crimped a 16 and 14 awg myself, but it has several more sizes it can crimp. I do not have it with me right now, so I am unsure of weekday others it can do. I can say that it has 8 sizes in total between 2 dies if I remember correctly though.

Note that the product name is "Compression Crimper." It does "crimp" the fitting to the cable - it just requires special compression fittings rather than the style which crimps the barrel of the fitting. BTW does a good job for me but does sometimes require a little adjustment if you switch brands of fittings.

Hi KathleenThe uncrimped pull-through connector does have a larger profile than the standard RJ45 connectors (it is not possible to plug an uncrimped pull-through connector into an RJ45 jack). I haven't tried them with standard crimpers. I think if your tool opens wider than just the defined space for a standard connector, you would be okay.

So far, I only used my crimper once. I used to on terminal lug, so far not too bad. Don't know why the size of the dye are all mentic.

Yes, always check the length, but these dies will not knock out the primer crimp. You will need at tool for that to return the primer diameter back to factory size

if i interpret my wire size correctly 500 mcm is pretty close to 3/4" in of inch. if i am right that the wire must have very thick insulation along with a cloth type material under that. The unit you see cuts through the smaller awg's with no problem because after i make the adjustments on the 3 wire guides,I then set the cutting blade down on the wire. I can pull a spools of house wire till my arms drop off, you would need a donkey to pull 3/4 inch wire through the hand operated coppermine. If you didn't read the spec's or suggest you call the makers of the coppermine and get a more concrete answer. I think they make stripping units that are electric, so all you do is adjust and feed the wire through. if i interpret my wire size correctly 500 mcm is pretty close to 3/4" in of inch. if i am right that the wire must have very thick insulation along with a cloth type material under that.

I bought the mating (weatherized) MC4 connectors; not expensive, but the crimp tool is pricey. Of course you can cut off the extant MC4 connectors and splice to any appropriate wire pair. Your chosen 16AWG wire is sufficient for the approx 2.5A max current if you are not going too far, (perhaps 20 ft or less; remember voltage drop is a function of distance). If the cables have shielding ( I think they don't), be certain to prevent a short to the shield where you splice. You can look under the terminal cover to see if they are shielded; I did, but can't remember for sure.

the inner copper plug is about 4mm and the outer plastic lead cover is about 7mm, These are great leads and the alligator attachment screws over the pointed leads. I use them a lot and for the price they are a great deal. I use a Mastech MS8268 meter that I really like as well. After looking at the Craftsman meters online they look like they should fit, provided that the copper plug has the outer plastic cover over the copper plugs. I hope that helps you. They are pretty universal with higher end multimeters. They also look just like the Craftsman meter lead sold by Amazon.

Well this is what I know. I borrowed a friends crimper that was made for these. it work very well and these clamps , if clamped right really grip!!! the crimper he had was not a hgh dollar crimper but you could set the crimper with a guage so you know how much to crimp the clamp. you could try your wire cutters and see if it crimps right...the worst thing that will happen is your pipe will leak and you will have to cut the crimp off and more then likely replace the pex pipe.

This tool comes with metric dies.Either use metric rivets or get an SAE type tool.The answer is probably not.

With the right crimp, 22 AWG shouldn't be a problem. I would not recommend this for anything smaller than 28.

They have a taper crimp. Which I am not sold on...I prefer the Dillon crimp die. BUT there is a significant price difference.

Works with all crimp rings. I have used on a variety of sizes also up to 1"

It appears as though the answer is ... Maybe!!I see some responses that said yes, I even saw a video that demonstrated how to set the crimp, but mine does not as was the case with another response. the number stamped on mine is LEE-308W-D3. maybe the ones that crimp are a different number or maybe Lee changed how they made their dies.
