Morris 50008 Mechanical Lug Crimper, Cu 8-500 MCM / Al 8-500 AWG, Forged

Product Overview

The Morris 50008 is a mechanical indentor crimper designed for compression lugs and splices on copper and aluminum conductors. It covers copper 8–500 MCM and aluminum 8–500 AWG without the need for separate dies.

The tool features a forged high‑strength steel housing, a high‑strength steel nest and indenter, rubber grips, and a telescoping pull‑out handle for added leverage. Overall length is 25".

Key Features

• Crimps copper 8–500 MCM and aluminum 8–500 AWG (single adjustable indenter; no dies required)
• Forged high‑strength steel housing for durability
• Nest and indenter made of high‑strength steel
• Telescoping pull‑out handle for increased leverage
• Rubber handle grips for improved handling
• 25" overall length

What this tool does

The Morris 50008 is a mechanical indentor crimper that creates indent crimp connections for compression lugs and splices on copper and aluminum conductors. Its adjustable indenter covers a wide conductor range so separate dies are not required.

• Crimp range: copper 8–500 MCM, aluminum 8–500 AWG
• Creates indent style crimps suitable for compression lugs and splices

Intended applications

Use this tool to crimp compression lugs and splices where mechanical indent crimps are appropriate and hydraulic tooling is not required or desired. It supports a broad conductor range for utility, industrial, and commercial electrical work.

• Designed for copper and aluminum compression lugs and splices through 8–500 MCM (Cu) / 8–500 AWG (Al)
• Suitable where a portable, non‑hydraulic crimper is needed

Construction and key components

The 50008 is built with a forged high‑strength steel housing and high‑strength steel nest and indenter to withstand repeated use. Rubber grip handles improve handling, and a telescoping pull‑out handle increases leverage for large crimps.

• Forged housing for strength and durability
• High‑strength steel nest and indenter (no separate dies)
• Rubber handle grips; telescoping pull‑out handle for added leverage
• Overall length: 25"

Operation and basic use

The tool operates as a mechanical indentor: open the indenter, insert the lug barrel with conductor, then drive the bolt/handle to form the indent crimp. The adjustable indenter covers the specified conductor range so there are no dies to order or lose.

• Open indenter and position lug and conductor in the nest
• Use the handle (extend telescoping section for more leverage) to drive the indenter and complete the crimp
• Confirm lug type and conductor size are within the stated ranges before crimping

Before You Order

Confirm the model number and that the conductor sizes and lug/splice type you plan to crimp are compatible with the stated copper and aluminum ranges before ordering.

• Verify lugs and splices are intended for indent crimping and fall within copper 8–500 MCM or aluminum 8–500 AWG.
• This tool uses an adjustable indenter and does not require separate dies.
