What sets Conversions Tech apart
- About a third of the price. The PowerProFlex12T battery kit lists at $1,795. A Burndy PAT750LI sells for $5,429 and a Milwaukee 2779-20 for $4,899, tool only.
- Crimp and cut on one battery. The PRO6000 swaps its 12-ton crimp head for a cutting head that takes copper and aluminum cable to 1-1/8 in. Neither Burndy nor Milwaukee lists a 12-ton battery crimper with a cutting head.
- The standard 12-ton U-die. All three crimpers take standard 12-ton U-style dies, the die form of the 12-ton class, so there is no proprietary head to buy into.
- One colour system, lug to die. The die colour and index are printed beside every lug and splice in our CT-26 catalog and on every product page, and our single dies and 19-piece kit carry the same colours.
- Three-year warranty. Every Conversions Tech crimper and die carries a three-year warranty.
- Listed connectors. Our compression lugs are cULus Listed to UL 486A-486B and CSA C22.2 No. 65. Lugs, splices, dies and tools ship on one order and one trade account.
