U-type aluminum crimping dies designed to form cULus Classified crimps when used with the DEWALT DCE310 compact crimper and compatible connectors (connectors and crimper sold separately). Dies have laser-etched and color-coded markings for size identification and imprint the wire size onto the connector during the crimp cycle to aid inspection.
Project Ideas
Business
Mobile Aluminum Crimping Service
Offer on-site cULus Classified #6 AL terminations to electrical contractors. Use the DEWALT DCE310 with the #6 U-die and approved connectors, then deliver an inspection packet: photos of the imprinted wire size, die color/size, connector part numbers, and torque logs.
Prefabricated Feeder Whips
Build and ship cut-to-length #6 AL feeder assemblies with one or both ends pre-crimped using listed connectors and the U-die. Include caps, labels, antioxidant where specified, and documentation showing the stamped wire size for AHJ acceptance. Target garage subpanels, EVSE disconnects, and meter-to-disconnect links.
EV Charger Install Niche
Specialize in EVSE circuits using #6 AL feeders to reduce material costs while maintaining code compliance. Market cULus crimp quality with stamped wire-size verification, fast turnaround, and AHJ-ready photo reports.
Tool + Die Rental With Training
Rent out the DCE310 and U-die kits with a quick-start guide, approved connector list, and a short video. Offer optional on-site coaching and a checklist template that captures die marking, imprint photos, and torque values to help small shops pass inspections.
Aluminum Termination Training & Certification
Provide half-day workshops for apprentices and maintenance teams on aluminum conductor terminations. Each attendee practices with #6 AL, listed connectors, and the U-die, creating take-home samples with imprinted sizing and pass/fail QA criteria. Sell add-on kits for ongoing practice.
Creative
Inspection-Ready Garage Subpanel
Add a 60A garage/shed subpanel using #6 aluminum feeders. Use the DEWALT DCE310 with the #6 Aluminum U-Die and listed AL connectors to make cULus crimps that imprint the wire size onto the connector. Photograph the stamped imprint and color-coded die for an inspection-friendly install. Follow all code requirements and connector manufacturer instructions.
EV Charger Feeder Upgrade
Run a cost-effective #6 AL feeder to a 40–60A EVSE. Terminate at disconnect, junctions, and panel lugs with approved AL connectors using the U-die to produce inspection-ready crimps with visible wire-size imprints and die color coding. Build a simple commissioning checklist with torque values, crimp photos, and part numbers.
Outdoor Dock/Boathouse Subfeed
Install a weather-resistant subpanel for a dock or boathouse using #6 AL conductors. Make cULus Classified crimps with the U-die, then seal per connector specs and apply antioxidant where required. The imprinted wire size on each connector simplifies later maintenance and inspection in harsh environments.
Apprentice Demonstration Board
Create a training board with good vs. bad aluminum terminations. Include labeled #6 AL samples crimped with the U-die so students can see the imprinted wire size, correct die color, and proper connector selection. Add cutaways and pull-test notes for a hands-on learning module.
Workshop Power Distribution Upgrade
Feed a new tool island or mini subpanel with #6 AL from the main panel. Use the U-die to form cULus crimps on listed connectors for splices and terminations. Add heat-shrink labels and keep a photo log of each crimp’s imprint and die marking for streamlined inspections.
