HEX HEXPRESS Hand Crimping Tools for Cable Lugs – Mechanical Crimpers from 0.5 to 400 sq mm

HEXPRESS hand crimping tools are mechanical compression tools for copper and aluminium cable lugs and terminals from 0.5 to 400 sq mm. The force comes from the handles - there is nothing hydraulic to service - and the tools are sized by conductor cross-section like the HEX lugs they crimp. 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.

The range runs from the 340 g A-6 for 0.5 to 6 sq mm, through the dieless H-50 and H-70, the F1-185 with round or hexagon dies, and the HEXPRESS-17 and -18 copper tube terminal tools, up to the G-400 and gear-operated G1-400 for 400 sq mm. Each tool has its own page; prices are on request.

How to choose

Match the tool to the largest lug you crimp: A-6 (6 sq mm) and B-16 (16 sq mm) for small terminals, HEXPRESS-17 (50 sq mm) and HEXPRESS-18 (150 sq mm) for copper tube terminals, H-50 and H-70 where you want no dies, F1-185 for 10 to 185 sq mm with round or hexagon dies, and G-400 or the gear-operated G1-400 for up to 400 sq mm.

Above 400 sq mm, or for many large crimps a day, move to the HEXPRESS hydraulic tools.

Frequently asked questions

Round or hexagon dies - which do I need?

Both make a compression crimp on the lug barrel. Hexagon dies leave the familiar six-sided crimp; round dies leave a round one. Follow the lug specification or the practice on your site; the F1-185 is offered with either.

What is a dieless tool?

A tool whose jaw has fixed crimping positions for set sizes, so there are no dies to fit - the H-50 covers 25, 35 and 50 sq mm lugs and 16, 25 and 35 sq mm ring terminals; the H-70 covers ring terminals from 16 to 70 sq mm.

Up to what size can a hand tool crimp?

The G-400 and G1-400 crimp up to 400 sq mm; above that, use a HEXPRESS hydraulic tool.

Do the die tools come with dies?

Die sets are listed by number on the die pages (F1-185: R-1 to R-13; G-400 and G1-400: H-50 to H-400, though HEX also lists R-11 to R-18 for the G1-400) and are ordered for the sizes you crimp.
