Questions & Answers

Does the crimper work on 4 gauge wire ?
ByAug 4, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

No — the Milwaukee Ratcheting Modular Crimper is designed for low-voltage modular connectors (RJ11, RJ12, RJ45 for data/telecom), not for electrical power cables like 4 AWG wire.

    Will this accept 2 AWG wire?

          High quality crimping tool
          This crimper is the level of quality we all expect from other Milwaukee hand tools. The first thing you will notice is that it is of very sold construction, it is lightweight and will fit in you tool belt when doing larger jobs. The grips were comfortable and the tool was easy to hold which is a major plus when using this type of tool for any period of time. A feature I really liked was the ratcheting tightening, this is a real positive when crimping tough connectors. Instead of wrestling with the tool and moving you hands to tighten it further, the ratchet feature allows you to loosen your grip and it holds the workpiece in place as you tighten further. I did not have a project to use these on at the time I was reviewing this, but my neighbor is an electrician and I asked him to try it out, he commented that the crimps were clean and tight and the tool was easy to use, i think that alone gives you a good perspective if you are considering buying this crimper.

          Solid Crimps, Bright Handle, Slightly Annoying Lock
          This Milwaukee crimp tool does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Makes solid, secure connections on RJ45 connectors, no fuss. Works for RJ11 too, which is a nice bonus if you ever mess with phone lines. The wire stripper is actually decent—it strips clean without chewing up the strands, which is more than I can say for a lot of tools in this price range. The bright red handle makes it easy to find when it's buried under a pile of crap in your toolbox. Only gripe I’ve got is the ratcheting handle lock. It works... kinda. But if you click it one too many times, it pops the handle back open, which is annoying. Honestly, a simple locking lever might’ve made more sense. Still, not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of.

          Milwaukee crimper for modular connections
          My review of the Milwaukee Ratcheting Modular Crimper & Stripper(48-22-3076). Bought this for a home project so not a professional by any means. Comes with quick crimping positions 4p,6p and 8p. This will cover your needs for a number of different modular connections. Has two razor blades for cutting and stripping on board without the need for a secondary tool. Typical high quality Milwaukee tool. Just wished they supplied some instructions for us beginners.

          Easy!
          This cable crimper works pretty much as I expected! I’m definitely a noob when it comes to installing ends on cat five cables, but this tool worked great. If you insert the clip all the way into the tool until it stops and squeeze the handle the eight pins come down to Connect the end to the cables perfectly. It has a ratcheting feature that holds the cable tight when crimping and a pretty easy button to unlock the crimped grip. It also has a nice cutter and stripper.

          Crimping made easy!
          Milwaukee’s Ratcheting Modular Crimper and Stripper is designed to crimp 4, 6, and 8 position modular connectors (RJ22, RJ11/RJ12, and RJ45) on STP/UTP and telephone cable. These make it easy to crimp connectors with minimal effort. The quality is great and the tool is comfortable in the hand. The strippers work great as well. I crimped Ethernet cables so far and they work perfectly.

          Love it
          This is the best crimper I’ve ever used and speeds up the job. The ratcheting mechanism is quite precise. The release of the ratcheting mechanism after crimping is basically automatic. Alternatively, a release knob is also built-in to this tool, which is easily rotated at any position in the crimp. In my opinion, the bite is phenomenal. I like how firmly it holds the jack for crimping while also releasing as cleanly and easily as unplugging it from a wall. This tool will need to be used in combination with a stripper and punchdown tool to complete the job. I’m glad I have this and would recommend it to anyone in the trade.

          Great tool for every tool box
          Milwaukee's ratcheting crimper is a top-tier tool! The parallel crimp design delivers consistent, quality connections. Improved visibility makes precision work easier, and the easy jack removal saves time. It crimps both RJ45 and RJ11 connectors. Durable construction and comfortable ergonomic grips ensure long-lasting performance. A must-have for any networking professional !

          Great tool for making data cables of desired lengths using RJ connectors.
          As a DIY person I tackle all kinds of projects. I had never made a data cable but this tool came in handy for preparing several of them of custom length to feed data from router / modem to various points around the house. With it one can use RJ45, RJ11, RJ12 and RJ22 modules. I like the nonslip handles, bright red finishing, and ratchet action for easy cutting and trimming cables. To prepare the cable feed color cables through the end cap and squeeze the handles for a clean cut. The cutting blade can be easily replaced.

          A must have for modular jacks
          This is a cable cutter, stripper and a nodular jack crimper tool in one for installing modular jacks in RJ11, RJ12,RJ22, and RJ45. The cutting blades and stripping sleeves makes this a versatile tool in doing many tasks. The straight cut through blades helps to eliminate poor cuts on conductors. The ratcheting mechanism has a quick and easy release.

          Ease of use and great for Ethernet
          Received this to do some repairs on some old Ethernet cables. This was my first time actual cutting, splicing and crimping the Ethernet. Being everything in my house is WiFi, it’s just something I have not worked on. Using this crimped simply made it a breeze and was easy to use. The blade is extremely sharp and cut through the cable. It “ratchets” and not alot of force is needed. The handle is comfortable and thick. This is not a cheaply made tool.
