A battery-powered hydraulic handheld tool designed to cut and crimp battery cables and related conductors. It combines a hydraulic pump, cutting head and interchangeable crimping dies in a portable package for field and shop use.
It performs cutting of battery cables and bus bars, and hydraulic crimping of terminals and lugs. It is intended for installation, maintenance and repair of battery systems, switchgear and heavy electrical connections.
It typically works on copper and aluminum battery cables and strips. Exact maximum cutting and crimping capacities depend on the supplied dies and blade — consult the product datasheet or user manual for the model's rated cable cross-section and maximum diameter.
Most units ship with a set of common interchangeable crimping dies and a cutting blade. Additional die sizes and replacement blades are usually available as accessories. Verify the package contents or optional accessory list from the seller.
This style of tool normally uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. Whether a battery and charger are included varies by seller — check the product listing or packing list to confirm.
Runtime depends on battery capacity, cut size and frequency. On a full charge you can typically make multiple dozen operations for light-to-moderate work. For exact performance figures, see the technical specifications provided by the manufacturer.
Charge times depend on battery capacity and charger output; typical lithium-ion packs charge in roughly 30–90 minutes. Use only the manufacturer-specified charger and follow charging guidelines in the manual.
Hydraulic cycles are fast — cuts and crimps normally complete in seconds. Exact cycle times vary with load, die selection and battery state; refer to the product documentation for measured cycle times.
Common safety features include a two-stage or two-handed trigger, pressure relief valve, guarded cutting head, LED status indicators and insulated handles. Always read the safety section of the user manual and wear appropriate PPE when operating.
Shut down the tool, remove battery, relieve any hydraulic pressure, then follow the manufacturer's instructions to remove retaining pins or screws and swap dies/blade. Always use only compatible parts and follow torque/installation procedures in the manual.
Regular maintenance generally includes cleaning the tool after use, keeping moving parts lightly lubricated, inspecting dies and blades for wear, checking hydraulic fittings for leaks, and maintaining battery health. Replace worn blades/dies and service hydraulic seals as recommended.
Common troubleshooting steps: recharge or swap the battery, ensure dies/blade are correctly installed and sharp, verify there is no foreign material in the head, and check hydraulic fluid level and seals. For oil leaks or persistent faults, stop using the tool and contact authorized service.
Typical accessories include additional die sets, replacement cutting blades, spare batteries and chargers, carrying cases, and hydraulic service kits. Check with the supplier or parts catalog for model-specific items.
Warranty terms vary by manufacturer and seller; common warranties cover workmanship and defects for a limited period (e.g., 12 months). Service and warranty repair are handled by authorized service centers — keep proof of purchase and consult the warranty card or vendor for details.
Store the tool in a dry, cool place with the battery removed or at recommended storage charge. Use the supplied case or protective packaging for transport. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture and follow battery storage rules in the manual.
