Overview

The Panduit BlackFin CT-2600/LINT is a lithium-ion battery-powered hydraulic crimping tool designed for high-efficiency wire termination in industrial and electrical applications. With a 4.0-ton crimp force, this tool handles #8 to 2 AWG insulated and non-insulated terminals, butt splices, #8 AWG to 300 kcmil copper code lugs, and #6 to 2/0 AWG aluminum lugs. The flip-top crimp head rotates 350 degrees for versatile positioning, and the tool features a one-button operating concept for simplified control. The 2-stage hydraulic system delivers rapid advance and power stroke, completing crimps in 3–6 seconds. The CT-2600/LINT includes two 3.0 Ah Li-ion batteries with a 22-minute fast charge time, a 230V charger with Type C plug, and a molded carrying case. The quad-point indent crimping feature with a patented centering system eliminates the need for separate dies, reducing connector inventory and costs. The tool provides UL Listed and CSA Certified terminations when used with Panduit Pan-Lug Copper Lugs and Splices. Additional crimp dies (CD-2600, KC4, KA44) are available separately for expanded compatibility. Ideal for single-handed use, this tool meets OSHA electrical and mechanical safety requirements for handheld electric tools.

Use the NSI HTGE-250 Two-Way Basket Ground Clamp to ground electrical connections in distribution/pole transformers. This clamp is cast from high conductivity copper alloy and comes with cast bronze eyebolts, both of which are high strength and guarantee durable performance when grounding transformers in harsh environments. Strong stainless-steel nuts and lockwashers are standard on all two-way basket ground clamps. Additionally, the flat surface acts as a seal to the tank. HTGE series ground clamps provide a hex or square shoulder for wrench tightening and come tin plated by adding the suffix ‘TN’ for additional corrosion resistance. Use the HTGE-250 when running ground wire in the range of 6 SOL to 250 MCM. Stock products you can rely on—stock NSI.
