This die suits professionals terminating 6 AWG lugs with compatible W-series equipment. It does not fit other die series or wire gauges. Buyers needing different capacities or proprietary tool systems should look at other options.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the Burndy W161 die and do I need a separate crimp tool?
The package contains the W161 Type W crimping die only; a compatible W-series crimp tool must be supplied separately to operate it.
How do I choose between the listed versions or capacities for the W161 die?
The W161 is offered in a single 6 AWG capacity for both aluminum and copper lugs, so there are no alternative versions to select.
What does the 6-ton maximum crimping force mean when the die is used in a real job?
It indicates the peak force the die can withstand in a W-series tool, allowing reliable crimps on 6 AWG aluminum and copper lugs within that force limit.
