Daniels Manufacturing Corporation® achieved Qualified Products List (QPL) status for all 51 Series 6-ton form crimp tool products.  This major advancement delivers rigorously tested, military-compliant crimping solutions engineered to reliably terminate large-gauge insulated and uninsulated terminals and contacts.

All three heavy-duty tools are qualified to AS5259 standards for crimping terminals onto 8 to 2/0 AWG copper and aluminum wires. Each tool is expertly designed with a 340° rotating head to enhance maneuverability and accommodates interchangeable die sets designed to deliver optimal electrical integrity across a wide range of critical applications.

• HDE51C Battery-Powered Tool (M5259/8-01) delivers portable crimping performance with enhanced efficiency and integrated data collection via Bluetooth connectivity.
• XHD51 Remote Hydraulic Crimp Head (M5259/4-01) provides precision and control for high volume production lines and maintenance rework centers.
• HD51 Manual Hydraulic Tool (M5259/5-01) is a portable solution that uses hydraulic mechanical advantage to crimp large components with minimal manual effort.

Complementing the tool lineup is a robust portfolio of mil-qualified and commercial dies designed to support a wide range of crimping requirements. Each die set features a unique crimp configuration such as hex, nest and indent, or confined crescent crimps. The interchangeability of dies across all tool platforms increases system compatibility and ensures accurate deformation with each termination. 

The qualification of the 51 Series completes a long-anticipated, full product line of large-gauge crimping systems qualified for mission-critical systems. The 51 Series establishes a new industry standard for reliability, repeatability, and electrical integrity in environments where failure is not an option.
