Klein Tools VDV205-036 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Klein VDV205-036 come with a crimping tool, or is it just the die?
Die set only. The VDV205-036 is a replacement/interchangeable die that drops into a Klein ratcheting crimper frame, so if you don't already have the tool body you'll need that too.
2) What wire sizes will the VDV205-036 die crimp?
AWG 10 through 20 on non-insulated and open barrel terminals. The nests are cut for AWG 20-18/16 and 14/12-10, which in metric covers DIN 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 4 and 6 mm conductors.
3) What other Klein die sets fit the same crimper as the VDV205-036?
Three other optional dies share the platform: VDV212-034 for CATV F-connectors on RG59/6, VDV205-035 for insulated terminals AWG 10-22, and VDV211-037 for RG6/58/59/62 coax. Techs doing both low-voltage coax and terminal work usually keep a couple on hand and swap as needed.
4) Will this die give consistent crimps for terminations that have to pass inspection?
The VDV205-036 is machined to precise nest dimensions so terminations meet or exceed common standards, with discrete nests for AWG 20-18/16 and 14/12-10 rather than one generic jaw. Matching the wire to the correct nest is what keeps the crimp repeatable across a crew.
5) Is the VDV205-036 right for crimping coax connectors?
No, it's built for non-insulated and open barrel wire terminals. Coax work needs a hex die: VDV211-037 covers RG6/58/59/62 and VDV212-034 handles CATV F-connectors on RG59/6.
6) How big is the VDV205-036 die, and will it fit in a pouch?
Small enough to carry loose: 2.7 inches deep by 0.9 inch wide by 0.45 inch high, and 0.135 lbs (about 1.6 ounces). It drops into a tool pouch pocket without taking up a slot.
