Why choose the W247 Die?
The Burndy W247 provides a consistent circumferential compression crimp designed to meet the demands of utility and industrial electrical work. Its stainless steel construction helps resist wear and environmental effects in field conditions, while compatibility with multiple Burndy crimping platforms (mechanical, hydraulic, and battery-actuated) makes it a versatile pick for crews that use mixed tool fleets.
The die also integrates with Burndy’s color-coded connection system to simplify die selection and reduce on-site confusion — a small convenience that pays off when speed and accuracy matter.
