Our RTL ergonomic ratcheting crimping tool comes fitted with a standard open-barrel die-set that handles wire from 22-10 AWG in diameter. That die-set will handle EVERY terminal that we sell on this web site. We also offer the three supplemental die-sets that are illustrated and described below. Adding die-sets greatly expands the versatility of your crimping tool at a small fraction of the cost of purchasing additional dedicated tools. The extra die sets can be used for things like appliance repairs, home stereo installation, auto wiring repairs, and some types of household wiring work.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These die sets are designed to fit our RTL crimping tool. We don't know what other crimping tools these die sets might or might not fit. So, we can't help you when you ask us if our die sets fit some other brand of crimping tool that we don't sell. We won't spend $75-150 each to buy other inferior brands of crimping tools, just to see if our die sets fit on them. Therefore, if you buy one or more of these die sets and they don't properly fit your other brand of crimping tool, all we can do is to refer you to the same company that manufactured your brand of tool in the first place.

WARNING!! NEVER use your RTL crimping tool on a live circuit, especially in the presence of gasoline or gasoline vapors! Personal injury, explosion, fire, and damage to electrical system components can occur!
