Klein Tools VDV205-044 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the VDV205-044 work on insulated ring and fork terminals?
No. It's cut for non-insulated terminals only. Insulated terminals need a die with the matching color-coded insulated nests, since the insulated barrel requires a different crimp profile. If your lugs have red, blue or yellow sleeves, this isn't the right die.
2) Does the Klein VDV205-044 include the crimping tool?
Die set only. There's no frame or handles in the package, so you need a Klein interchangeable-die crimp tool body to use it. Order the tool separately if you don't already have one on the truck.
3) Will crimps made with this die hold up for inspected commercial work?
The nests on the VDV205-044 are machined to precise dimensions so terminations meet or exceed common standards. Practically, that means a given nest is sized to one gauge band, so matching the wire to the correct nest (18-16, 14, 12-10, or 8) is what produces a compliant crimp. Using an oversized nest is the usual cause of a pull-out failure.
4) What is the exact part number to order this Klein non-insulated crimp die?
Klein Tools VDV205-044 is the full manufacturer part number for the non-insulated terminal die set covering AWG 18 through 8. There are no finish or size options to pick, it's a single configuration.
5) How big is the VDV205-044 die, and how much does it weigh?
It measures 2.7 x 1.35 x 0.45 inches and weighs 0.135 lb (about 2.4 ounces). Small enough to drop in a pouch pocket with a second die for insulated work.
