HUSKIE TOOLS DIELESS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about HUSKIE TOOLS DIELESS from 3G Electric.
What conductor sizes can the Huskie Tools dieless crimper handle?
The Huskie Tools dieless crimpers, such as the REC-MK7750 and REC-RL7750 series, are rated for copper conductors from #8 AWG to 500 MCM and aluminum conductors from #8 AWG to 350 MCM. The dieless head automatically adjusts to the conductor size within this range, eliminating the need for separate die sets. Always verify the specific model's specifications, as some variants may have slightly different maximum capacities.
Does the Huskie Tools dieless crimper require a separate hydraulic pump?
No. The Huskie Tools dieless crimper is a self-contained, battery-powered tool. It uses an internal hydraulic pump driven by an 18 V lithium-ion battery. This design eliminates the need for external hydraulic pumps, hoses, or AC power, making it portable and suitable for field use. The tool is available in two battery platform options: Makita LXT (REC-MK7750 series) and Milwaukee M18 Redlithium (REC-RL7750 series).
What is the difference between the Huskie Tools REC-MK7750 and REC-RL7750 series?
The primary difference is the battery platform. The REC-MK7750 series uses the Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion battery system, while the REC-RL7750 series uses the Milwaukee M18 Redlithium system. Both tools have identical crimping performance, with a dieless head that handles #8 AWG to 500 MCM copper and #8 AWG to 350 MCM aluminum. The kit versions (REC-MK7750 and REC-RL7750) include a battery, charger, and carrying bag. The tool-only versions (REC-MK7750X and REC-RL7750X) do not include batteries or chargers.
Can the Huskie Tools dieless crimper be used for aluminum conductors?
Yes. The Huskie Tools dieless crimper is designed for both copper and aluminum conductors. For aluminum, the maximum capacity is 350 MCM, while for copper it is 500 MCM. The dieless head applies consistent compression force suitable for aluminum connections, but users should follow manufacturer guidelines for connector selection and crimp specifications to ensure proper electrical and mechanical performance.
What is included in the Huskie Tools dieless crimper kit?
The kit versions (REC-MK7750 and REC-RL7750) include the dieless crimping tool, one 18 V lithium-ion battery, a 120 V AC charger, and a carrying bag. The tool-only versions (REC-MK7750X and REC-RL7750X) include only the tool and a carrying bag. The kit is intended for users who do not already own compatible batteries and chargers from the respective battery platform.
Is the Huskie Tools dieless crimper head latching?
Yes. The Huskie Tools dieless crimpers feature a latching head design. This allows the user to open the head, insert the conductor and connector, and close the head securely before crimping. The latching mechanism holds the cable in place during the crimp cycle, improving safety and consistency. The head is also designed to release easily after the crimp is complete.
