I am a Generac dealer and want to get the milwaukee crimper but can figure out what will work with it. We currently us c taps

Some times on high voltage splice kits Milwaukee crimps don’t work and you just have to use the burndy 4 pt crimper

Is it a C die or a U die??
you haven’t put a lot of effort or information in your posts..

if it’s C dies they will insert in the back D3 slot.
U dies are for 12 ton hydraulic tools, W dies are for hand tools or the 6 ton unit your looking at.
there is an adapter to go from a W tool to a U die, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s tearing the tool up to crimp something too bug for the tool, adapter or not.

Trying to see what head on Milwaukee crimper would work. I have put extensive effort into trying to figure this out. So I don't appreciate you comment.

Who do you think you are talking to like this? I wish you could say this to my face. Unreal. Never experience this before on this forum.

I thought I gave a great answer. I couldn’t figure out if you were using C dies or U dies. Your posts have both listed.

The bg/d3 head is going to be the most versatile for grounding. What size wires are you wanting to crimp?

You said I gave no effort. You are wrong. Just finding out this answer for the Milwaukee crimper is insane. I been searching for this answer and i was hoping maybe you guys could help.

I have to change the main panel to a sub panel and crimp the existing ground so I can extend it to transfer switch. What we have know is a 5/8 and 0 die. Sorry i am learning. I could use h taps copper. 4 and 6 awg copper wire is what i would need to crimp

Just get a buttsplice (burndy) and use the standard die

If all you are crimping is that wire, then the bg (nose) die will be fine To crimp the cf44
K dies that fit the D3 slot are readily available and relatively cheap for 2-4 wire. Anything bigger uses a U die that goes in a different tool

That tool is a good tool and will do what you need.
We own several.. (~20)
If you get one you will find you use it for more than just that One job.
the D3 forks for aluminum H taps for service entrances, and the smaller H taps (189 for example) use the D die that is added in the D3 slot
