Blackburn ODF1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn ODF1 tool actually used for?
The ODF1 is a hand-operated wire lug crimping tool, a manual compression tool for crimping connectors and lugs onto conductors. It is a mechanical tool, no battery or hydraulic pump involved, so an electrician can carry it in a pouch and use it anywhere on the job.
2) Does the Blackburn ODF1 come with insulated or fiberglass handles?
Fiberglass handles. The ODF1 is described as a compression tool with fiberglass handles, which is the non-conductive handle material electricians expect on a hand crimper used near energized gear. Note that fiberglass handles alone are not a substitute for rated insulated tools on live work.
3) Is the Blackburn ODF1 crimper made in the USA?
Yes. The ODF1 compression tool's country of origin is the United States, which matters if you are buying against a Buy American or domestic-preference requirement on a government or institutional job.
4) Do I need a hydraulic or battery crimper instead of a manual tool like the ODF1?
Depends on the conductor size and how many crimps you are making. A manual compression tool like the Blackburn ODF1 is hand-powered, which suits occasional lug and connector work and service or repair calls where hauling a battery tool and dies is not worth it. For repetitive crimps on large feeder cable, a battery or hydraulic crimper with interchangeable dies is the faster choice. Match the tool to the die or crimp range the lug manufacturer calls out for your conductor.
5) What is the exact part number to order the Blackburn O and D fiberglass handle compression tool?
Order it as Blackburn ODF1. That is the manufacturer part number for the O and D compression tool with fiberglass handles, and it is the number a distributor will cross-reference.
