Mechanical Crimping Tool: This tool is designed for crimping, which is a process of joining two pieces of metal or other ductile materials by deforming one or both of them to hold the other.

K-Series: Indicates that the crimping tool is part of the K-Series line from GREENLEE. Different series may have specific features or applications.

8 - 4/0 AWG:

• 8: The lower limit of the wire size that this crimping tool can accommodate. In this case, it can handle wires with a gauge as small as 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
• 4/0: The upper limit of the wire size that this crimping tool can accommodate. 4/0 AWG is a larger wire size commonly used for heavy-duty applications.

The GREENLEE Mechanical Crimping Tool from the K-Series is designed for crimping wires within the range of 8 to 4/0 AWG. This tool is likely suitable for a variety of applications, including electrical work where secure and reliable crimps on larger gauge wires are required.
