Hydraulic Crimp Tool Review. Can You Swage Cable Ferrules With It?

[@TheScoutFamily]

Thank you for taking the time to post this. Exactly what I needed to know for a replacement cable on my camper.

[@hillbillyrv]

Glad it helped

[@edinaldomanuel8329]

Hi dear, thank you very much to expended your time to show us a very important tool. I have been searching long time to buy a set, so Amazon selling Temco Hydraulic Cable Lug Crimper TH0006 V2.0, its come with 18 dies, but for a Chinese tool is very pricey. Nobody did this test before, I believe so...I'm looking for a set comes with 9 dies at least. By the way as a Hvac Mechanical Contractor, I have my nephew Eric, exactly your young helper....feed him, and he'll do a lots for you. Thanks mate God's bless you and your family through this difficult times.

[@hillbillyrv]

Thank you for the kind words

[@skypilot7103]

Thanks!

[@hillbillyrv]

Thank you. Very generous.

[@pete7894]

I have one and did not know it could be used for this, nice. Thanks

[@hillbillyrv]

You are welcome Pete

[@moonolyth]

Cool first man I see to pull em apart. Got one from Northren T. I sometimes use the dies revers to flatten parts. I've fixed cables on riding mowers, made button or stop ends on rods. I've even reshaped some dies for special stuff. Units with more dies may be worth the extra $.

[@hillbillyrv]

I am still using it. No problems.

[@vproduction]

Thanks for the video. I just brought exactly same tool to crimp those oval shape stainless wire ferrule. Now I can be sure it'll work

[@hillbillyrv]

Cool

[@khcopter]

OK I cannot thank you enough for making that video!! I’m about to swage a threaded stainless steel fitting on my jeep JK emergency brake handle to give me adjustment that jeep never gave it for the emergency brakes. And you just proved that that will work can’t thank you enough. I happen to have a 12 ton hydraulic swagger Just curious how many tons tool you were using? I’m also going to be using 5/32 cable. Anyway, thank you again.

[@hillbillyrv]

I don’t think it was measured in tonage, but I am still using it. I haven’t broken it yet.

[@skypilot7103]

Thank you for the review I can’t find the Lou hawk but found a velour looks alike I broke a cable on the fifth wheel this will help. Liked your stress test also. Ed

[@hillbillyrv]

You are welcome. I use it pretty often. Heck I used it today.

[@skypilot7103]

@@hillbillyrv do you think that I can get the cable adjustment close with the slide about 80% out I don’t really want to take down the facial trim ? Thanks again Happy Easter! Ed

I am late to the party, but THANK YOU! This is very valuable information not really found anywhere else.

[@hillbillyrv]

Glad you liked it.

[@victordipersia]

so what die would you use for 1/4" cable and what was the size of the cable you used for your demonstration. GREAT VIDEO, VERY INFORMATIVE.

[@hillbillyrv]

I don’t remember for sure about the cable size. I would suggest buying a couple of extra ferules and a little extra cable and experiment to get the best results.

[@Kiptanui]

Here’s a question, do you crimp your own hydraulic hose fittings? And if so, what crimper do you use for those lippert jic fittings? I’ve bought two hydraulic crimpers now and neither has dies small enough. Would love to know what you use/do. Tired of getting them made locally.

[@hillbillyrv]

I may have had to get 3-4 hoses made in my whole career, so I just get them made locally. Back in the day some of those small hoses had screw on ends. If the hose was busted near the end you could just remove the end, cut the hose off and reattach the end. They were awesome.

[@mdoyle1983]

Thanks for making this.

[@hillbillyrv]

You are welcome

[@RVHabit]

Looks good. I have needed a crimper for a while and keep putting it off. I may give this one a try.

[@hillbillyrv]

I don't know about the longevity....I'll let you know in a couple of years.....ha ha

[@electrolatif]

You pass also❤😂😂😂great video

[@hillbillyrv]

Thank you

[@electrolatif]

@@hillbillyrv just get mine today. I like it

[@seesharpdba6551]

what about air hose fittings?

[@hillbillyrv]

I don’t see why not, but I haven’t tried that.

[@vincent771]

Was that a 1/4" line?

[@hillbillyrv]

Not sure this video was shot a while ago. This thing is handy for a lot of different sizes.

[@vincent771]

@@hillbillyrv thanks man. I just bought one. I have 1/4" line on my sailboat and aim to learn about rigging. ,⚓✌️

[@hillbillyrv]

@@vincent771 It should work. It doesn't make the prettiest swages, but they seem to be strong.

[@1966cambo]

Pretty sure there is a chart for the sizes Never mind, just got to the part of your video where you drag out the chart lol

[@hillbillyrv]

lol....man give me a minute..... That chart did not seem very actuate to me.

[@georgegoulborn4162]

so.....we never got to see you use the new crimper. a demo would have been nice?

[@hillbillyrv]

It's just a little hydraulic jack. You just pump the handle. Sorry George. We started replacing the cables on the popup camper in the background. I will show the crimper in action in that video.

[@daviscrt]

I bought a manual crimper to secure my solar panels from flying off the RV roof, as a backup. Thanks Don

[@hillbillyrv]

What did you do? Just tether them to the roof with cable?

[@daviscrt]

Yes sir. Bolted down and tethered.

[@hillbillyrv]

@@daviscrt You really didn't want to lose them, did you?

[@daviscrt]

No I dont, plus I don't want to get someone hurt. Better save than sorry. Don

[@hillbillyrv]

@@daviscrt safety is over rated.

[@dsmtsi]

You didn't show how to use it to make the loup.

[@hillbillyrv]

Did I not?

[@dsmtsi]

​@hillbillyrv no you didn't. I have the same tool and am trying to figure out which way to drink these to make the loup.

[@johnr5545]

Nice job god bless
