HC136 New Release

The HC136 dieless hydraulic crimp tool is engineered for high-force, precision crimping across 8 AWG through 750 MCM on both copper and aluminum applications. Built for field reliability and versatility, the HC136 covers a wide range of heavy-duty electrical terminations.

At its core, the HC136 utilizes a four-indent dieless crimping system that automatically conforms to the connector and conductor geometry. This produces a symmetrical, 360° compression (90° indent intervals), ensuring uniform pressure distribution and optimal electrical performance. As resistance increases during the crimp cycle, the tool drives to metal-to-metal bottoming, forming a secure, gas-tight connection.

Designed with operator control and safety in mind, the HC136 delivers 6 tons of crimp force and features an automatic relief valve to prevent over-compression. A release lever allows for quick indenter retraction, while the 360-degree rotating head enables efficient operation in tight or obstructed workspaces.

The HC136 also serves as the direct successor to the HC134.
