Premium crimping for solar PV cable assemblies

The HKS Crimping Tool is engineered to deliver repeatable, professional crimps on solar PV cable connectors. Its ratcheting mechanism completes a full cycle before release, enabling you to lock the connector first and then finish the wire insertion with confidence. Built for AWG 14-8 (2.5-10 mm²) conductors, this tool pairs a robust alloy jaw with precision die finishing to produce clean, secure terminations in both workshop and field settings.

Key features at a glance

  • Ratcheting mechanism ensures a complete cycle and consistent crimps every time
  • Quick release lever lets you open the jaw in any position for easier setup
  • Adjustable crimp force knob lets you tailor pressure to the connector type
  • Ergonomic, cushioned, non-slip handles reduce fatigue during longer sessions
  • Alloy casting jaw provides high strength and repeatable accuracy
  • Optimized for solar PV connectors and AWG 14-8 (2.5-10mm²) cables

Practical uses in the field

  • Terminating solar cable assemblies on rooftops, racks, or portable setups with confidence
  • Maintaining consistent crimps across multiple connectors in a single project
  • Field adjustments without needing additional tools thanks to the adjustable force and quick release
  • Durable, repeatable performance suitable for busy installations and workshops

While results depend on technique and connector type, the tool is designed to help you achieve strong, reliable terminations with standard AWG 14-8 cables. Consider it a versatile option for professional electrical work in solar installations.
