Crimp-Master Universal Compact Crimping Tool (8 GA – 1/0) Crimper

The Crimp-Master Universal Compact Crimping Tool is a portable, professional handheld tool designed for high-quality crimps on battery cables from 8 GA through 1/0. Its compact size (approx. 16″) makes it easier to handle and store than the longer models while still delivering the same proven compression performance.

It features a unique triangular compression crimp (not an indent style) that exerts equal pressure at all contact points, centers the cable, and forms a homogeneous mass of copper inside the terminal or lug. This creates a strong, low-resistance connection ideal for heavy-duty battery cables.

• 8 GA to 1/0 capacity
• 50 different crimp settings
• Simple two-finger adjustment to change settings
• No dies to replace or misalign
