Yes. To replace a die: (1) Unock or open the crimping tool, (2) remove the current die from the die holder, (3) insert the new die from the kit so it seats fully, (4) ensure the die is locked in place, and (5) proceed with crimping on the appropriate conductor size.

Question 13

What should I check to ensure I get a quality crimp every time?

Check that the die is fully seated and locked, verify the conductor size matches the die opening (16–300 mm² range), perform a test crimp on a scrap piece, and inspect for a clean, centered bite with no gaps or over-crimping. If results vary, re-check die seating and alignment before continuing.
