Thomas & Betts TBM45S – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes will the Thomas & Betts TBM45S crimp tool handle?
The TBM45S covers 8 through 2 AWG on copper lugs and 10 through 6 AWG on aluminum. If your conductor falls outside those ranges, this is the wrong tool for that termination.
2) Can I use the TBM45S on aluminum conductors, or is it copper only?
Both. The tool is rated 8-2 AWG on copper and a narrower 10-6 AWG on aluminum, so an aluminum conductor larger than 6 AWG is outside its range even though copper goes up to 2 AWG. Watch that difference when you are working a panel with mixed conductors.
3) Does the TBM45S crimper need a battery or hydraulic pump?
No power source of any kind. It's a manual, hand-operated crimper, so it works in a panel room with the power off, up a ladder, or anywhere a battery tool would be a nuisance to haul.
4) What kind of terminations is the TBM45S actually meant for, lugs or insulated terminals?
It's a wire lug crimping tool, purpose-built for compression lugs on copper conductors in the 8-2 AWG range. It is not a general-purpose insulated terminal or ferrule crimper, and it is not sized for fine-stranded control wiring.
5) Is the TBM45S built for all-day crimping or occasional use?
It uses a palm grip handle in black and orange, a layout meant for repeated squeezing rather than a one-off crimp. Electricians running a full panel of lug terminations are the intended user.
6) If I order the Thomas & Betts TBM45S, do I get one tool or a set?
The TBM45S sells as each, one tool per unit. Lugs and connectors are ordered separately.
7) What is the manufacturer part number for the Thomas & Betts ergonomic lug crimper?
TBM45S is the Thomas & Betts part number, and it's the only model in this configuration. Quote it as TBM45S when matching a spec or reordering for a truck stock list.
