TEMCo Industrial TH0005 V2.0 Hydraulic Cable Lug Crimper — 11 US Ton, 10 AWG to 600 MCM, 32 Die Sets

Overview

Designed for serious electrical work, the TEMCo Industrial TH0005 V2.0 hydraulic cable lug crimper delivers consistent, dependable crimps across a broad range of lug sizes. With 11 US tons of crimping force, this tool combines power with precision for professional-grade results in automotive, industrial, and building wire applications.

Updated for 2020, TH0005 Version 2.0 introduces reinforced dies and a broader die set, elevating reliability while minimizing wear. The tool is purpose-built for operators who value repeatable performance, straightforward operation, and durable construction that stands up to daily use in demanding environments.

Key capabilities

• TRUE-HEX crimp forming dies apply uniform pressure on all sides, delivering even compression and higher pull-out resistance.
• Includes 16 standard dies for American Wire Gauge 10 through 600 MCM, DIN-standard compliant and compatible with U.S. color-coded terminals. Each die size is imprinted onto the crimped terminal for easier inspection and code compliance.
• Additional 16 plus-size dies extend coverage to hard-to-fit non-standard lugs, including heavy cast or thin-wall terminals.
• All 32 dies feature black oxide coating to resist chipping and flaking, maintaining a consistent surface for repeated use.
• The system supports crimping of battery and welding cables, building wiring, and crimp terminals, including heavy cast lugs, backed by a 5-year warranty from TEMCo.

Durability and build

The TH0005 V2.0 is built to endure frequent handling in busy shops. The hydraulic mechanism delivers steady force, while the dies are designed to maintain alignment and provide uniform terminal compression. The black oxide-coated dies help minimize wear, preserving crimp quality over time.

Real-world use cases

Ideal for service technicians, installers, and fabricators who work with automotive battery lugs, welding cables, and building wiring. The 32-die system covers a wide range of lug sizes, reducing the need to switch tools for different jobs. The imprinting feature aids in rapid verification during inspections, while the reliable crimp form helps support secure electrical connections in a variety of environments.

Tips for best results

• Match the lug size to the appropriate die before crimping to ensure uniform compression.
• Keep cables clean and free of oxidation at the terminal interface for smoother operation.
• Use the tool with steady, controlled pressure to maximize crimp consistency across cycles.
• Leverage the imprint on the terminal when documenting sizes for compliance checks.

Warranty and support

TEMCo backs the TH0005 with a 5-year warranty, reflecting confidence in its long-term performance and durability in professional settings.
