TEMCo Industrial TH0006 Hydraulic Cable Lug Crimper Kit 5 US Ton — 18 TRUE-HEX Dies for 12 AWG–2/0, Black Oxide

TEMCo Industrial TH0006 is a 5-ton hydraulic cable lug and terminal crimper kit that delivers even, code-friendly crimps for 12 AWG through 2/0 (00) cables using its TRUE-HEX dies.

The TH0006 Version 2.0 is an updated hydraulic crimping solution designed for electricians, mechanics, fleet technicians, and anyone who needs reliable, repeatable crimps on battery, welding, and building wiring. This kit combines a compact 5 US ton hydraulic ram with a robust set of dies engineered to form uniform hex crimps, including extra dies for nonstandard and heavy cast lugs. Included features such as die size imprints, DIN-compatible sizing, and black oxide finish make the set practical for job-site use and inspections.

How does the TH0006 produce consistent crimps?

The crimper uses a TRUE-HEX die geometry that applies pressure evenly around the terminal, producing symmetrical compression with high pull-out resistance. The hydraulic ram supplies controlled force, reducing operator fatigue while ensuring each crimp meets mechanical expectations.

• TRUE-HEX dies for uniform six-sided compression
• Hydraulic 5 US ton ram for steady, repeatable force
• Dies imprint sizes for code compliance and inspection
• Black oxide finish prevents chipping common to plated dies

What cable sizes and terminals does this kit handle?

This edition includes 18 die sets covering the common AWG range 12 through 2/0 (00), plus additional dies for awkward, heavy-cast, or thin-wall terminals. Dies conform to DIN industrial sizing to stay compatible with domestic color-coded lugs and many nonstandard terminals.

• Standard dies sized for 12 AWG up to 2/0 (00)
• Extra plus-size dies for heavy cast or thin-wall lugs
• Works on battery cable, welding leads, and building wiring
• Dies mark the crimp for easier inspection and documentation

How durable and serviceable is this crimper kit?

Version 2.0 improvements focus on longevity and job-site resilience: dies are black oxide coated to resist flaking, and the hydraulic components are built for repeated use. TEMCo backs the kit with a five-year warranty for added peace of mind.

• Black oxide coated dies to prevent chipping and flaking
• Heavy-duty hydraulic components for repeated cycles
• Die set stamped with size identifiers for traceability
• Includes TEMCo five-year warranty for covered defects

How portable and easy to use is the system on site?

The TH0006 kit is designed to be transported and operated in tight spaces: the hydraulic unit is compact, the dies store neatly, and setup is straightforward even for a single technician. Quick die changes and a clear size code speed up repetitive tasks.

• Compact hydraulic ram suitable for confined locations
• Organized die storage for fast selection and swaps
• Single-operator capability reduces need for helpers
• Clear die labeling accelerates job-site workflow

Who is this for: The TEMCo TH0006 is aimed at professional tradespeople and serious DIYers who require consistent, inspection-ready cable crimps across a range of American Wire Gauge sizes, including heavy battery and welding cables. If you need a portable, durable hydraulic crimper with industry-compatible dies, visual size markings, and a warranty, this kit is built to meet those demands without unnecessary complexity.
