HEX HEXPRESS F1-185 Hand Crimping Tool – Round Dies R-1 to R-13, 10 to 185 sq mm, 6.45 kg

10 to 185 sq mm, hand crimping tool with round-profile dies, 6.45 kg. HEXPRESS F1-185 (round dies) is a mechanical crimping tool: the force comes from the handles, with no hydraulics to maintain. It uses round-profile dies R-1 to R-13, one for each lug size, so the compression is the same on every joint. Price on request.

HEXPRESS is the crimping-tool range of HEX - the brand of Brass Copper & Alloy (I) Ltd., Mumbai, an ISO 9001 company - sold alongside the HEX cable lugs, terminals and ferrules it is sized to crimp. Use it with HEX copper tubular lugs and crimping sleeves of the same sizes.
