The REC-5430 weighing just 14.4 pounds was specifically designed for use in single-handed operation in overhead applications such as cable trays. This allows one hand to control the work while the other hand is free to operate the tool. It also eliminates the cumbersome hoses and larger, heavier tools traditionally used in overhead work.

The REC-5430 was designed from the same hydraulic system as our REC-558U featuring a rapid advance ram to reduce cycle time. It accepts all 12 ton U-Style dies and is capable of 750 MCM copper lugs and 600 MCM copper splices.
