How study and heavy is this tool ? Could it work for SS clamp besides the copper ring ?

No, you need to go to a Lowes or Home Depot and purchase a tool for just stainless rings. If you are doing work inside in a dry area copper will work. Outside go stainless for sure. I bought the crimp tool for copper and sent it back based on the plumber advising me. He lent me his stainless crimper unit. Units are about the same at Amazon as are the stores. it is a great system to replace copper tubing. Enjoy.

Hi Nola_Girly. I just measured it to be 0.75" thick, so not a fit for that clamp.

I work with sheet metal also and this is not a tool for thin copper, copper is too soft. I tried it on aluminum and the metal collects on the bit. Great for galv. sheet metal though.

Absolutely! I am cutting galvanized 3/16" fencing wire. The copper is much softer and 1/8" would be even easier. You will have no issues with these except they may be slower than the Stakon Cutter Crimpers which is my go-to for Electrical use.

The clamp s are covered so I can't see the wire but the weight seems consistent with solid copper. Also comes in a big plastic carrying case. These are really heavy cables like I wanted.

Spring load clamp "jaws" that it comes with. If you are trying to cut something like a floor where you can't get a clamp underneath (i.e. a C-clamp wouldn't work), then you just need to get creative ....

Heck yah. This thing is very heavy duty. The weakest point is going to be the pin that keeps it in place. Has to be good for at least a ton IMHO.

I replaced my ground clamp with a US Forge Bronze clamp. Is sold by Amazon. I have had no problems with since I changed.

I used this tool to change a couple of different 530 chains. I did grind one side of the pins off before I pushed them out. They were not DID chains but stock chains, but it should not make a difference.

Yeah it will fit in the clamp. But this this is a piece of junk. Broke right away. Look elsewhere

The instructions say it will bend 1/4" to 7/8" soft copper, aluminum and light wall hydraulic tubing. It won't bend hard copper tubing unless it is annealed. If the stainless steel tubing you want to bend is thin wall then I think it will do the job.

Depends on what type of projects you are trying to accomplish. I have been a little disappointed in my kreg jig honestly. It is good for joining 1x dimensional lumber but not good in joining 1x to 2x or 2x to 2x. Id imagine if you went smaller than 1x, it would provide very little strength to joints. The master system gives you a few bells and whistles like the clamp but you're fine saving a few bucks and going with another if you wanted.

Depending on how you place the lamp will determine if it will work on a thin piece of metal. I know the type you are talking about and this should work for you. If you find that it bends the metal just adjust the angle so that it doesn't get "top heavy". It is a very good clamp and holds very well, just keep in mind that the whole unit does have some weight, however, I am sure it will work fine for you.

to be honest with you this will only work done stripped heads that are not seized up. if this thing is seized in there you're going to want to go for the next biggest tool. if you think you could get it out if you could just get a grip on it but then this will probably work. I broke a couple of mine in this set. They are decent, but have limits.

I've used it for soft drawn copper up to 7/8", and 3/4" thinwall aluminum with success. The bending collars are made of heavy plastic and stood up to the copper and aluminum. You may be able to bend thinwall stainless but due to the hand actuated ratchet and plastic collars anything larger than 1/2" would be too much stress.

It is a crimping tool, not a battery tool. There are assorted heads in different sizes. Largest in metric is "70" bigger than 1/2".It will crimp any thing it fits on to tubular on to anything else.

after reading what your connector is,in short,this tool will work. I WOULD USE CAUTION if you use the wrong die,[this tool only comes with so many] it will distort the lug[wire end] making it almost impossible to insert it in to the plug its self.it is a very good LIGHT DUTY TOOL for the money,depends on how many times you use it,and does it come with the correct dies for your application
