## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this work with molex automotive connectors? say molex 1326030-2**
A: The crimp tool is CORRECT, but the CRIMP DIES it comes with are not. As others have stated, it comes with dies for insulated barrel connectors. I have not found this crimper to be sold with the open barrel connector dies but you can buy them separately. The correct Klein Tools VDV205-036 Wire Crimper Die, Terminal, Open Barrel, AWG 10-20, Replacement Die set is currently sold on Amazon as well.

**Q: Anyone know if this could be used on a 10 AWG copper cable lug  like the type used on batteries?**
A: These crimpers are rated for up to 10 AWG, will absolutely work for that size wire.  

Most automotive battery main cables are MUCH larger than 10awg, more like 6awg - 2awg, and these would NOT WORK for those sizes.  10awg - 22awg is the capacity range.

**Q: What is the thickness of the dies/gap for them to slide into the tool? Standard is 4mm, looking for one that fits 5mm wide dies.**
A: I have been working in electronics for 50 years and still not clear. But might I suggest you either buy the crimping tool and if it doesn't suite your needs, simply return it. Or you could check the Klein Tools website yourself for detailed drawings.

**Q: The ad clearly says for "stranded copper wire", but the photos also clearly show crimping on solid wire.  Does it work correctly on both wire types**
A: I recently was installing a TV antenna.  Code requires that external antennas be grounded with #10 or larger copper wire (or some  other alternatives).  So I used #10 solid copper wire.  With one of those combination wire strippers, screw cutters, crimpers things, and squeezing as hard as I could, I could not get the crimp tight enough to keep the wire from sliding out.  So I tried the Klein 3005CR.  I saw that it was for stranded only, and was worried, but decided to give it a try anyway with the solid wire.  It worked absolutely perfectly.
