Eclipse 902-480 12 ton hydraulic crimp tool

The Eclipse 902-480 is a 12 ton hydraulic crimp tool built for professional electrical work. It handles compression lugs and splices across a wide wire range from 6 AWG to 750 kcmil. The manual adjustability lets the operator control each crimp cycle directly on site. This tool is not suited for buyers who need automated cycling or battery-powered operation.

Thermals noise and power draw

Hydraulic operation means the tool runs without an electric motor, so there is no fan noise or electrical heat during normal use. The 12 ton force is generated by hand pumping, keeping the workspace quiet and the tool body cool. Power draw is limited to the operator's physical effort rather than a mains or battery supply. Users who require continuous high-volume crimping without manual effort will find this method limiting.

Bundled accessories and software

The product ships as the crimp tool only, with no dies, carry case or calibration software included. The compatible lug sizes listed — including 300, 350, 480, 500, 600 and 800 kcmil aluminium lugs — must be matched with separate die sets purchased for each conductor size. Without those dies the tool cannot complete a crimp on any of the stated wire sizes. Buyers who expect a ready-to-crimp kit will need to source dies separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install the dies on the Eclipse 902-480 and what is the step people get wrong?

Open the head, insert the correct die set for the wire size, close and latch the head, then pump the handle to 12 ton force; the step often missed is verifying the die code matches the connector before crimping.

What maintenance or replacement will the Eclipse 902-480 need later?

Inspect hydraulic seals for leaks, check die surfaces for wear, and replace hydraulic fluid if pressure drops below 12 ton rating.

What limit shows up first on the Eclipse 902-480 under sustained use?

The 12 ton maximum crimping force is the hard limit; once reached the tool will not compress larger lugs such as 750 kcmil or 800 kcmil aluminum.
