Product Information

Unlike soldered connections, crimp connections are more resistant to heat and vibrations; thus, they can last longer, even under high heat and mechanical stress. That’s why crimping is the preferred connection method in the automotive industry. With crimping, it’s easy and fast to get consistent results when making multiple joints, provided your crimping tool is appropriately calibrated. Lastly, crimping cable lugs doesn’t demand a high level of expertise, thus making crimping a suitable method for a wide range of users, including beginners.

Removing a copper press fitting can be complex and usually requires a specific puller tool designed for this purpose. However, it's important to note that not all press fittings are designed to be reusable. Here are the general steps to follow: Crimping is a mechanical method of joining battery cables to lugs; no heat or chemical is required. It entails using a lug crimper (like the iCrimp IWS-1040S Battery Cable Lug Crimping Tool) to compress/crimp down a copper lug to hold the cable strands thus forming a permanent joint tightly. Usually, good crimp connections are sturdy and reliable. Manual: Handheld tools require physical force to crimp the fittings onto the pipe. They are portable, affordable, and ideal for small-scale projects or tight spaces.

Solution Applications

Use a rotary tool with a cutting wheel to carefully cut a slit along the length of the fitting. Be careful not to cut into the pipe itself.

Generally, choosing between the two should be more based on the application and industry standards. Therefore, we can conclude that battery cable lugs should be crimped and not soldered. Crimping offers a better and more secure connection between the copper lug and a battery cable. Should You Add Solder to a Crimp Joint?Battery operated: Battery-operated tools are easier to use and suitable for larger projects. But they require regular charging and are more expensive. Copper pipe crimping tools, or press tools, come in various types, each designed to suit different applications and user preferences. Here are some of the common types:
