Blackburn TBM6HDXSS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn TBM6HDXSS die set cover?
The TBM6HDXSS HEXFLEX die set covers No. 8 AWG through 300 MCM, so one set spans most of the compression lug and splice range an electrician hits on a service or feeder job without swapping to a second kit.
2) Will these dies fit a 6 ton crimping tool?
Yes. The TBM6HDXSS set is rated at 6 ton, so it is made for a 6 ton compression head. It will not seat correctly in a 12 ton or 15 ton tool, which uses a different die pocket and requires its own die set.
3) I need to crimp 350 MCM or 500 MCM lugs. Will this set do it?
No. The TBM6HDXSS tops out at 300 MCM. For 350 MCM and larger you need a higher tonnage head and the die set matched to it, since the 6 ton dies will not index in that tool.
4) Is this a full die set or a single die for one wire size?
It ships as a complete set, sold as each, with the dies needed to run No. 8 through 300 MCM. You are buying the kit, not an individual die.
5) What are these dies used for on an electrical job?
They are lug crimping tool dies, used to compress copper and aluminum terminals, lugs and splices onto conductors with a hydraulic or mechanical 6 ton head. Typical work is panel and switchgear terminations, grounding connections, and feeder splices.
6) Do I need separate dies for each wire gauge, or does the HEXFLEX set handle a range?
The HEXFLEX design is what lets a single 6 ton set carry the whole No. 8 to 300 MCM range rather than one die per gauge. For a service truck or MRO crib that standardizes on one crimper, that means fewer loose dies to track and lose.
7) Are Blackburn TBM6HDXSS dies made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. That matters on government, institutional and utility work where domestic sourcing is a bid condition.
