Blackburn 6TON29SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn 6TON29SS die used for?
It's a hex crimping die for lug and connector crimping, sized for 6 ton tooling and marked with die code 29. You install it in the crimp head, run the compression cycle, and it forms a hex crimp on the lug barrel. Sold one die at a time, not as a set.
2) Will a 6 ton hex die fit my 12 ton crimper?
No. The 6TON29SS is rated 6 ton, so it's cut for 6 ton crimp heads and their die pocket. Dies are not interchangeable across tonnage classes. Match the die to the tonnage stamped on your tool head, then match the die code to the conductor and lug you're crimping.
3) How do I know I'm ordering the right die code?
Die code 29 is what identifies this one. Crimp lugs and connectors are stamped with the die code the manufacturer requires for a compliant crimp, so read the code off the lug barrel and order the die that matches. The part number for code 29 in the 6 ton stainless series is 6TON29SS.
4) Do I get a pair of dies or just one piece when I order 6TON29SS?
One piece. The selling unit is each, so if your crimp head takes a matched upper and lower half you need to order the quantity your tool requires. Crews standardizing a truck stock usually buy the full range of die codes they encounter rather than a single code.
5) Is a hex die or an indent die better for crimping copper lugs?
A hex die like the 6TON29SS compresses the lug barrel into a six-sided profile, which is the configuration most compression lug and splice manufacturers call out for their code-marked connectors. Indent or point crimps drive a dimple into the barrel and are specified by a different set of connectors. Go by whichever the lug itself is stamped for; the die code on the connector decides it, not preference.
6) Are these crimp dies stainless steel, and does that matter on a jobsite?
Stainless steel construction, finished grey. For an electrician or MRO crew working outdoors, in utility vaults, or in damp mechanical rooms, stainless holds up better against rust in the tool case than plain tool steel, which matters because a pitted die face leaves a poor crimp profile.
7) Where is the Blackburn 6TON29SS die made?
Made in the United States. That's the answer government, education, and other publicly funded buyers need when a domestic-origin clause applies to their purchase order.
