Greenlee Crimper 6T Li Ion Standard CJD3BG (Bare Tool)

Description

Loose crimp dies falling into mud trenches and uneven jaw compression ruin underground service terminations on commercial power hookups. The Greenlee 6T CJD3BG Standard Crimper integrates a fixed BG and D3 die jaw to crimp distribution taps. It operates as a bare tool, requiring compatible 18V lithium-ion batteries and chargers before you can cycle the ram.

High-strength forged alloy steel forms the CJD3BG crimping jaw head, fitted with fixed BG and D3 indenting profiles on an inline composite tool chassis. An 18V brushless electric motor drives an internal micro-hydraulic pump, producing six tons of crimping force at 8,200 PSI. Total dry bare tool weight measures 6.8 lbs without battery. The slim inline frame measures 15.5 inches long, 4.0 inches wide, and 4.5 inches tall.

Key Features of Greenlee EK425LXDBGB

Electrical lineworkers buy Greenlee EK425LXDBGB crimpers to install service drops and distribution taps without fumbling with separate loose die sets. Commercial tool pricing delivers factory-machined BG and D3 jaw grooves paired with real-time pressure monitoring for documented utility terminations.

• Forged steel jaw heads feature fixed BG and D3 die grooves to crimp standard overhead service taps without loose dies.
• Slim inline body profiles slip through tight meter bases, service entrance troughs, and transformer secondary bushings.
• Full 350-degree head rotation provides flexible jaw orientation inside crowded commercial electrical panels.
• Intelli-CRIMP technology monitors crimping force in real time, signaling complete compression with audible and visual beeps.
• Automatic ram retraction resets the crimping head automatically once full six-ton force targets are achieved.
• Overmolded rubber grip areas provide balanced single-hand tool control when working in aerial buckets.
• LED work lights illuminate dark electrical meter enclosures and underground utility pull boxes during crimping passes.

Hydraulic Tonnage Force Bench Metrics

Calibrated load cell bench testing confirms 6.2 tons of linear crimping force delivered at 8,200 PSI peak hydraulic pressure. Complete crimp cycles take 3.2 seconds on 4/0 ACSR distribution tap sleeves. The brushless motor draws 17.5 running amps from an 18V battery pack during peak compression. Pull-out tensile tests on crimped service sleeves exceed UL 486A-B retention thresholds, holding firm past 1,400 lbs of direct pull force without wire slippage. Internal pressure sensors log cycle completion with ninety-nine percent accuracy.

Linework Usability Realities Maintenance

Sliding this slim 6.8 lb inline tool into tight meter cans takes one hand, with the balanced grip keeping jaw alignment straight. Fixed die grooves eliminate dropping small dies into muddy ditch bottoms. Do not buy this tool for primary high-voltage lines over 600V without hot sticks, steel cable cutting, or structural rebar bending.

• Wipe mud, rain water, and line grease off the fixed BG and D3 jaw grooves after each shift.
• Inspect the jaw pivot pin and retainer ring for wear or play every two weeks.
• Check hydraulic cylinder seals for weeping oil around the jaw collar every two months.

Factory Warranty Manifest Inclusions
