4.5 Ton Manual Mechanical "Pop" Crimping Tools | MCP Series — Product Overview
Built for utility linework and overhead distribution applications, the Huskie Tools® MCP Series Manual "Pop" Crimping Tools deliver reliable 4.5-ton crimping performance without the need for hydraulic power. Designed for installing a wide variety of utility distribution connectors, these mechanical crimpers are ideal for service entrance connections, streetlight installations, overhead splices, taps, terminals, stacking lugs, stirrups, repair sleeves, and full-tension dead-end connectors.
