Description
Milwaukee W Style W-164 Crimping Die
Model Number: 49-16-W164
The Milwaukee 49-16-W164 is a W Style W-164 Crimping Die for the Milwaukee M18 FORCE LOGIC hydraulic crimping system — a precision-machined die set for making W-164 profile compression connector crimps on specified conductor sizes in utility distribution, substation, and commercial electrical connector termination applications. The W-164 die is a specific size within the W-style die standard used with W-style compression connectors — the die geometry matches the W-164 connector’s crimp pocket dimensions, conductor barrel shape, and crimping depth specification for crimps that meet the connector manufacturer’s electrical resistance, mechanical pull-out strength, and dimensional compliance requirements for reliable service. Using the correct W-164 die for the connector being terminated is essential — an incorrect die size produces a non-compliant crimp that may appear visually acceptable but fails the performance specifications required for safe, reliable connections in utility distribution systems. The consequences of a non-compliant crimp in an energized utility system make die selection accuracy a critical field practice requiring careful verification before every termination operation.
Milwaukee clearly marks the die with its W-164 designation for accurate identification during field use — preventing the die mix-up that produces non-compliant crimps requiring costly rework and re-termination in energized commercial and utility systems. The W-164 die integrates with Milwaukee’s EXACT die system for quick tool-free changes during production crimping work. Milwaukee manufactures the die to the precision tolerances required for consistent, inspection-compliant crimps on the conductor sizes the W-164 connector specification is rated for. Always verify connector manufacturer specifications for the correct die and conductor combination before terminating utility connections.
