IWS-70DT B / Hex / Point — application and selection
A manual bench crimper family with distinct B, hexagonal and point profiles. Choose the B-profile configuration for the listed compatible open-barrel battery terminals; the other profiles serve different lug constructions.
A fixed workbench provides a repeatable working position and supports cable preparation without an air supply or mains connection. Allow enough space for the lever stroke and the cable bend radius. Manual operation still requires controlled setup and inspection.

Before ordering: A similar-looking tool body does not make crimp profiles interchangeable. Match barrel wings, conductor size and terminal material; verify the finished crimp against the terminal specification.
Choose the right configuration
Choose the exact model in the purchase selector. Product photographs may show different configurations; only the selected package is supplied.
Workstation setup and first-piece checks
- Fasten the tool to a suitable stable bench and check the mechanism before use.
- Match conductor, lug and crimp profile; strip to the terminal maker's specified length without damaging strands.
- Position the lug and conductor as instructed; keep hands clear of the closing tooling and complete the prescribed stroke.
- Inspect the result and perform the terminal maker's specified dimensional or pull-force checks before continuing the batch.
Use the current model-specific instructions. The guide above is a selection and workflow overview, not a substitute for the operating manual.
Maintenance and repeatability
Keep working surfaces clean and inspect tooling for wear, chips, misalignment or loose fasteners. Follow the model-specific lubrication and service instructions. Recheck the first piece after a die change, adjustment or maintenance; stop using damaged tooling. Keep a job record of the terminal, conductor, die and inspection results.
Frequently asked questions
Does the maximum wire size apply to every terminal?
No. Usable capacity depends on conductor construction, terminal material and barrel dimensions, the selected die and the required crimp geometry. Match the complete combination.
How do I check crimp quality?
Use the terminal manufacturer's acceptance criteria. These may include visual checks, crimp height or other dimensions, and pull-force testing. A completed tool cycle alone does not prove electrical performance.
Which option should I buy?
A similar-looking tool body does not make crimp profiles interchangeable. Match barrel wings, conductor size and terminal material; verify the finished crimp against the terminal specification.
What information should I send for a compatibility check?
Provide the machine model and selected option, terminal part number or drawing, conductor material and cross-section, insulation diameter, and intended workload. For powered models, include your air or electrical supply.
