A stable bench setup for repeat cable-lug work
A manually operated, bench-mounted crimper for compatible non-insulated copper cable lugs. The fixed working position suits repeat cable assembly without an air supply or electrical drive.
Choose the correct model: IWS-1040DTS covers the listed 1/0โ4/0 AWG sizes; IWS-0801DTS covers 8โ1 AWG. These are separate tools, not two ranges included with one purchase.

Before you commit to a bench setup
- Match the lug barrel, conductor construction and required crimp profile.
- Plan secure mounting, the complete lever stroke and cable bend clearance.
- Choose a cutter and stripper rated for the actual cable; a small-wire stripper may not cover these sizes.
- Allow time for first-piece inspection and any specified dimensional or pull-force checks.
Complete the workstation
Prioritize size-matched cable preparation and copper lugs with the correct conductor and stud-hole dimensions. Do not add a generic small-wire preparation kit solely because it appears beside a crimper.
Is this an electric or pneumatic crimper?
No. These listed models use a manual lever and require secure bench mounting. Consider your intended repetition and operator workflow before choosing.
Does a hexagonal crimp mean it is suitable for aluminum lugs?
No. Use the listed material and model specifications. A crimp shape alone does not establish material compatibility.
How do I maintain repeatability?
Keep tooling clean, inspect for damage or loose fasteners, and follow the model-specific lubrication and service instructions. Recheck a first piece after adjustment or maintenance; stop using damaged tooling.
