The item in my kit
I bought LICHAMP Hydraulic Cable Lug Crimper as part of my camper van equipment.

Where it fits my build
I brought the roof light wires and camera cables into a PVC conduit layout. That work included drilled enclosures, threaded fittings, cable glands, solder-seal splices and grouped wiring.
During the small-box stage, I drilled for a male PVC fitting and used a fitting inside as a retaining nut. I routed the camera cable through a gland into a tee and brought the light-wire groups toward the van entry.

My build notes
The wiring project was a sequence of individual connections and routes. The photographs show the intermediate stages, including open boxes and wrapped wire groups, before the remaining covers and conduit joints were finished.
I built the cable route a section at a time, bringing local connections into the larger conduit system.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
TEMCo and AMZCNC offer other hydraulic crimper kits. Die selection, head layout and the included accessories distinguish these alternatives.
TEMCo TH0005 Hydraulic Crimper
This TEMCo tool uses a hand-pumped hydraulic mechanism and interchangeable crimp dies. The kit provides a lug-crimping format with a dedicated die selection.
