Compare KuDos self-contained manual hydraulic crimpers for electrical cables, copper and aluminum lugs, non-insulated terminals, sleeves and Anderson-style connectors. If your application requires an external hydraulic pump, view KuDos hydraulic crimping heads instead.
Important : Select the tool, die, conductor and connector as one compatible system. A matching conductor size or physical fit alone does not confirm suitability. Contact KuDos to verify the correct combination for your application.
Before comparing models, determine whether you need a self-contained hydraulic crimper or a remote hydraulic crimping head. The model comparison on this page covers KuDos self-contained manual hydraulic crimpers.
Choose this type when you need an integrated hand pump for portable, on-site operation without a separate hydraulic pump.
Choose this type when the crimping head will be connected to a compatible external hydraulic pump for remote operation, higher output, or restricted working spaces.
For applications that do not require interchangeable dies.
HYCP-185 : Stock dies available through 185 mm²
HYCP-240R : Stock dies available through 240 mm²
HH-400I : Support and indent dies, 8–325 mm²
HH-400X : Hexagonal dies, 22–325 mm²
HH-400XL : Cable-lug hexagonal dies, 120–400 mm²
9H-150 : Indentor system for non-insulated terminals and sleeves up to 150 mm²
Compare UB-412S, UCP-2712, UB-412T, and HYCP-4413T by jaw opening, output, length, and weight.
UB-400 : Copper or Aluminum lugs up to 400 mm²
PH-300 : Aluminum lugs up to 300 mm²
Before comparing model numbers, collect the information below. These four checks prevent a capacity match from being mistaken for a confirmed tool–connector match.
Confirm conductor material, nominal size, construction, connector type, connector manufacturer, part number, and outside diameter.
Identify whether the application requires dieless compression, BEKU, hexagonal, indent, support dies, or another documented die system.
All models in this comparison are classified from their published pages as self-contained manual hydraulic crimpers. Compare single-stage or two-stage pumping and confirm the final classification with KuDos.
Check jaw opening, head rotation, tool length, weight, and available working clearance before choosing between otherwise similar models.
Use these recommendations as a starting point, then confirm the complete tool, die, conductor and connector combination with KuDos.
Choose the HYCP-185 for listed dies through 185 mm² or the HYCP-240R through 240 mm²
The HH-400XL lists six hexagonal die sets covering 120 ~ 400 mm²
The UB-400 is listed for copper or aluminum lugs up to 400 mm²
The HYCP-4413T has a published 44 mm jaw opening and is listed for copper lugs up to 400 mm²
The pump classifications below are based on the pumping-action or handle-operation descriptions on the current KuDos product pages. None of the reviewed pages specifies that a separate hydraulic pump is required. Confirm the final wording with KuDos before publication.

HYCP-185 and HYCP-240R accept BEKU-type dies. Their product pages list stock dies for DIN 46235 terminals.
UB-400 is listed for copper or aluminum lugs up to 400 mm² , PH-300 is listed for aluminum lugs up to 300 mm²
No. Multiple product pages state that dies are sold separately. Check the individual model page and request the required die set when asking for a quotation.
No. Confirm the connector type, conductor material and size, die family, crimp profile, tool output, jaw opening and connector manufacturer’s installation requirements.
Include the following details in your inquiry so KuDos can verify the tool and die combination rather than recommending from conductor capacity alone.
