Blackburn TBM6500UNICR-LI – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor range will the Blackburn TBM6500UNICR-LI crimp?
The TBM6500UNICR-LI covers #8 AWG through 500 kcmil, so it handles everything from small branch-circuit lugs up to service-entrance conductors on a 500 kcmil feeder. That range is what makes it a single-tool answer for most commercial lug and splice work instead of carrying two tools.
2) Does the Blackburn TBM6500UNICR-LI come with crimping dies or do I have to buy them separately?
Dies are included. It ships as a 6 ton inline open-head tool with dies, sold as a single unit, so you are not sourcing a separate die set to get started.
3) Is the TBM6500UNICR-LI a battery tool or does it need a hydraulic pump?
It is a self-contained battery tool running on a portable lithium-ion pack, not a hand pump or a remote hydraulic head. That matters on ladder work and in panels where you don't want a hose trailing behind you.
4) What does the inline open head on a 6 ton crimper get me over a C-head tool?
An inline head puts the crimp axis in line with the tool body rather than off to the side, which lets you reach into deep gutters, tight panel corners and cable trays where a pistol-grip C-head won't line up. The open jaw also means you can drop it over a conductor mid-run instead of threading the cable through a closed die pocket. Crimp force is 6 tons, sized for lug and splice dies across the #8 AWG to 500 kcmil range.
5) Is the TBM6500UNICR-LI meant for lugs and connectors, or for cutting cable?
It's a crimping tool. The dies supplied with it are lug crimping dies, so it's for compressing copper and aluminum lugs, splices and connectors, not for cutting conductor. Cable cutting needs a separate cutter head or tool.
6) I'm standardizing crimp tools across a facility maintenance crew. Will one TBM6500UNICR-LI cover most of what electricians run into?
For a maintenance crew, the #8 AWG to 500 kcmil span covers the bulk of routine lug terminations, from motor leads and panel feeders up to 500 kcmil service conductors. Anything above 500 kcmil, or work needing specialty dies outside the included lug die set, falls outside this tool. Being battery powered with a lithium-ion pack, it also standardizes well across a truck fleet with no pump or hose to maintain.
7) What is the exact part number and country of origin for the Blackburn 6 ton inline crimper?
Order it as Blackburn TBM6500UNICR-LI. It's manufactured in Japan and sold as an each, tool and dies together.
