OVERVIEW

Create Professional Welding Leads Anywhere

Stop overpaying for pre-made welding leads and take control of your equipment setup with the RL-CRIMP Hammer Lug Crimper. This handy tool is a must-have for any welder, mechanic, or DIY enthusiast who works with high-amperage power cables. Whether you are building a new set of stinger leads, replacing a worn-out ground clamp connection, or fixing battery cables on your truck, this tool gets the job done quickly and affordably.

Simple and Effective: You don't need expensive hydraulic crimpers to get a factory-quality connection. Simply strip your cable, insert it into the lug, place the lug into the crimper, and strike the top ram with a hammer. The tool focuses the force directly into the connection, crushing the copper lug tightly around the wire strands for a permanent, conductive hold that won't pull out.

Built for the Field: Unlike bulky lever tools, this crimper is small enough to throw in your welding bag or toolbox. It covers the entire standard range of welding cable sizes, from thinner #6 wire all the way up to thick 4/0 cable. It is perfect for on-site repairs where a broken lead could otherwise stop production. The spring-loaded top makes it easy to load, and the rugged steel body ensures it will last for years of hard use.

  • Save Money: Build your own cables for a fraction of the cost.
  • Versatile: Works on welding cables, golf carts, RVs, and car audio.
  • Easy to Use: Requires only a hammer or a vise.

FAQ

This tool is designed to crimp cables ranging from #6 AWG (smallest) up to 4/0 AWG (largest).

A standard 3 to 4 lb sledgehammer or heavy ball-peen hammer works best. A regular claw hammer may not provide enough force for larger 4/0 terminals.

Yes, the tool can be placed in a heavy-duty bench vise. Tightening the vise compresses the ram to create the crimp, which offers more control than striking it.

While the tool can physically crimp aluminum lugs, it is primarily designed for copper welding cables. Ensure you use the correct lug material for your wire type.

Absolutely. It is widely used for making custom battery cables for cars, trucks, boats, and solar setups.

Yes, a spring lifts the ram up, allowing you to easily insert the lug and wire before crimping.

Strike or compress until the lug is firmly deformed and the wire cannot be pulled out. Visual inspection should show a deep indentation securing the strands.

Yes, it is very compact and lightweight compared to long-handled lever crimpers, making it ideal for field toolboxes.
