How do I choose the right battery cable cutter or crimper for my cable size and application?
To select the right tool, first check your cable’s material (copper or aluminum) and gauge (2 AWG, 4 AWG, 6 AWG, etc.). Our heavy-duty manual and ratcheting cutters are designed for cleanly cutting thick automotive, industrial, or motive power cables. For crimping, choose a tool compatible with your cable size—our crimpers have adjustable dies or interchangeable heads for multiple wire gauges. If you’re working on high-volume jobs or extra-thick cables, hydraulic or hammer-style crimpers offer added force and ease. Not sure which tool fits your needs?
