A detailed buying guide: how to choose a cordless press and cable cutting tool.
This section covers cordless press, crimping and cable cutting tools for crimping cable lugs and splices, cutting copper and aluminium cables and pressing fittings on multilayer and copper pipes. The category includes compact 12 V models and mainstream 18–20 V electro-hydraulic and electro-mechanical models. With no cable, the tool is convenient for electrical installation, plumbing and substation work where a power outlet is often unavailable. For general advice on cordless equipment, read how to choose a cordless tool.
Crimping tools are designed for lugs and splices, cable cutters for clean cable cuts and pipe press tools for plumbing fittings. There are also combination models with interchangeable heads. For comparison with manual tools, see how to choose pliers, cutters, strippers and crimping tools.
Crimping force is usually 6–12 kN for small cross-sections and 32–60 kN for cables up to 300–400 mm², while cable cutters handle cables about 40–85 mm in diameter. Choose force with a margin for your largest cross-section. Read how to choose hydraulic tool load capacity and working force.
Check the die profile and size range, whether the head rotates and, for pipes, compatibility with V, M, TH or U profiles. The die must match the lug or fitting type and the cable material. See how to check tool accessory compatibility and how to choose electrical cable, conduit, trunking and connectors.
12 V models suit small cross-sections and tight spaces, while 18–20 V tools are for high force and frequent use. A 2–5 Ah battery usually handles several hundred crimps or cuts per charge. See cordless tool voltage (V) and battery capacity (Ah).
Press tools are often sold in a case with a die set, battery and charger, but body-only versions are also available. If you already use a particular battery system, choose the same platform. Read what is a unified battery platform.
Electro-hydraulic models build pressure with a built-in pump and automatically retract once full force is reached, while electro-mechanical ones are lighter. A brushless motor shortens the cycle and saves battery charge. See what is a brushless motor.
Compact tools weigh about 1.5–2.5 kg, high-force models 3–5 kg. One-handed operation, a head rotating 180–350° and LED lighting matter inside panels and tight spaces. Read tool ergonomics, weight, and safety systems.
Work only on de-energised lines, never cut a live cable unless the tool is rated for it, and wear appropriate protective equipment. Read how to use cordless tools safely and how to choose electrical and arc-flash PPE.
On electro-hydraulic tools, regularly check the oil level and cycle counter, and on press tools check die wear and crimp accuracy. More details: how to store and maintain hydraulic tools.
At ToolsArmenia you can compare cordless press and cable cutting tools by voltage, crimping force, cutting capacity, die range and weight and choose the right model for your electrical or plumbing work.
