Blackburn 6TON50XSS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Blackburn 6TON50XSS die actually do, and what tool does it go in?
The 6TON50XSS is a hex crimping die for lug crimping tools, rated at 6 ton. It's the interchangeable jaw insert that goes into a 6 ton crimper, not the tool itself. Order the crimping head separately if you don't already have one. Sold each.
2) Will a 6 ton hex die work in my 12 ton crimper?
No. The 6TON50XSS is built to a 6 ton die profile and belongs in a 6 ton tool. Die tonnage classes are not interchangeable between crimper sizes, so match the die to the tonnage stamped on your head.
3) Is the Blackburn 6TON50XSS die color coded, and what do the orange and tan markings mean?
Orange/tan is the color code on this die. On the job it's how you pull the right die out of the case without reading the stamp, and it's how you confirm the die in the tool matches the color coded connector or die index you are crimping to.
4) Can this Blackburn hex die be used for crimping stainless or in a corrosive environment?
The die itself is stainless steel, so it holds up better than plain tool steel in damp or outdoor gear. That's about the die's own durability, not a limit on what conductor you crimp; use the connector manufacturer's die index to pick the crimp.
5) What part number do I order for the Blackburn 6 ton stainless hex flex die?
Blackburn part number 6TON50XSS, sold as a single die. There's one configuration, so there's no finish, size, or handing choice to specify on the order.
6) Is the Blackburn 6TON50XSS made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. That matters on federal, state, and institutional jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements on tooling and materials.
