Connectors and crimper are sold separately.
Project Ideas
Business
Mobile Heavy‑Gauge Crimping Service
Offer on‑site cULus‑classified crimping for solar, RV, marine, and generator installers. Show proof with the die‑imprinted wire size on every lug, document each termination with photos, and charge per crimp or per assembly. The case makes travel easy and keeps sizes ready from #8 to 350 MCM.
Custom Battery Cable Assemblies Shop
Sell made‑to‑order cable sets (1/0–4/0) for off‑grid, golf carts, forklifts, car audio, and winches. Customers choose length, gauge, lug type, and heat‑shrink color. Every crimp is stamped by the die for QA, and you ship labeled, ready‑to‑install kits.
Solar/EV Installer Partner Program
Partner with local solar and EV charger contractors to supply pre‑terminated feeder and battery cables. Use industry‑standard color coding for quick verification on‑site, and provide batch reports with crimp size imprints for their project documentation.
Electrical Feeder Remediation
Specialize in replacing non‑compliant set‑screw aluminum terminations with proper U‑type crimped lugs on #4–350 MCM feeders in residential/commercial panels. Bundle inspection, crimping, heat‑shrink sealing, torque verification, and photo reports into a flat‑rate service.
Crimper + Die Rental with Proof‑of‑Crimp
Rent a compact crimper with this die set and a starter kit of aluminum lugs. Include quick guides for die color matching and require customers to return photos of the die‑imprinted sizes on each termination as part of the rental checklist. Upsell consumables and calibration checks.
Creative
Van/RV Off‑Grid Power Upgrade
Build and install high‑amp battery, inverter, and DC distribution cables in vans or RVs using #2–4/0 aluminum conductors and matching lugs. The die set’s color coding speeds size selection, and the imprint on each crimp gives a clean, professional look and traceability. Finish with adhesive heat‑shrink and cable labels for a factory‑grade system.
Home Backup Battery Bank
Assemble a compact backup battery cabinet for a home office or critical loads. Use 1/0–4/0 conductors for short, low‑resistance runs between batteries, busbars, and inverter/charger. The cULus‑classified crimps and imprinted sizes make it easy to document work for an electrician’s inspection.
Amateur Radio High‑Current DC Bus
Create a clean 13.8V DC distribution bus with a main 2 AWG trunk feeding sub‑panels for rigs and amplifiers. Crimp tinned aluminum lugs with the U‑type dies and add color‑coded heat‑shrink to match die markings for instant gauge identification.
Boat Main Battery Rewire
Rewire a small craft’s starting and house banks. Use 1/0–2/0 for engine start, #4–#2 for accessory feeds, and crimp sealed lugs for corrosion resistance. The die’s size imprint helps during future maintenance and troubleshooting.
Workshop Inverter Power Cart
Build a rolling power cart with an inverter, charger, and lithium bank. Crimp 2/0–4/0 connections to busbars, breakers, and quick‑disconnects. The die case keeps sizes organized for efficient assembly of multiple identical carts.
