Question 1

Where can i buy metric cable and dies to get accurate crimps with this tool? awg wire and metric dies do not match up.

Accepted Answer

I haven't used it yet. I purchased this because my bolt cutter style crimps are too large for many boat engine compartments. I investigated this problem prior to purchase. trial and error is the only way. As I discovered with my old crimpers, it also depends on weather you use thin wall or heavy wall lugs. I didn't expect this to make factory looking crimps because my $250.00 crimps don't either without some extra effort. The dies in this kit are metric. AWG stranded wire is a little different than solid wire which AWG was actually developed for. I think large stranded cable is different diameter than small stranded cable of the same gauge.

Question 2

do you have 10awg die for this tool th0006

Accepted Answer

Mine had 2,3,4,8,9.12 Ga labeled dies.

Question 3

Is there B-crimp dies for this?

Accepted Answer

Not with the kit as shown, they may possibly be available from the manufacturer at extra cost, you would have to inquire to Temco directly to find out. All of the stock dies are straight barrel compression with no center dimples. Which have handled everything I've ever thrown at them without any failures. Any cables I make that are subject to extreme vibration or possible thermal strain I silversolder and vulcanize covers for.

Question 4

Can I use it for 1/8 inch cable rail crimping (Muzata hardware)?

Accepted Answer

I would have to look at mine but I believe it would. 1/8" cable is like 12 awg and I know there's a crimp in there for that. Either way, it's a nice complete set. You won't regret your purchase.
