WWWHL-1020-B - Hammer-On Copper Lug for 1/0 and 2/0 Welding Cable

The Quickest Way to Fix Broken Leads in the Field

Every welder knows the frustration of a cable failure right in the middle of a job. Whether a lug snaps off due to fatigue or a cable gets severed, downtime costs money. The RL22 Hammer-On Cable Lug is the ultimate problem solver for your toolbox, designed to get you back up and running in minutes without the need for heavy, expensive hydraulic crimpers. If you have a hammer and a way to strip your cable, you have everything you need to make a professional-grade connection that will hold up to the rigors of the job site.

Built for 1/0 and 2/0 AWG cables, this lug is a beast. It isn't made of thin, stamped sheet metal that bends when you look at it wrong; it is crafted from heavy cast copper. This gives it the weight and durability needed to handle high amperage without overheating. The installation process is straightforward and satisfying. simply strip the insulation back from your welding lead, insert the bare copper strands into the lug's barrel, and place it on a solid surface like an anvil or a concrete floor. Then, take your hammer and strike the raised tab firmly until it is flush with the barrel. The force drives the copper down, crushing the strands together into a solid mass that won't pull out.

This "hammer-down" style is a favorite among field welders and rig workers because it is permanent and incredibly tough. Once that lug is pounded on, it becomes one with the cable. It handles the dragging, yanking, and twisting that welding leads are subjected to every day. Because it is solid copper, you get the best possible current flow to your stinger or ground clamp, ensuring your arc stays smooth and consistent. It is also perfect for fixing battery cables on trucks, generators, and heavy equipment.

Don't get stuck waiting for a shop repair or trying to rig up a temporary fix with hose clamps. Keep a few of these RL22 lugs in your truck or gang box. They are the reliable, heavy-duty solution for making solid power connections anywhere, anytime. Just remember to wrap the connection in electrical tape or slide on some heat shrink to keep it safe and insulated.
