The Bosch GPH 18V-60 Professional cordless hydraulic crimping pliers are a specialized tool designed for precise and reliable cable lug crimping. With a maximum crimping force of up to 60 kilonewtons (kN), it can crimp cable lugs on copper and aluminum cables ranging from 6 to 300 square millimeters. The unit features an LED status display and an electronic pressure sensor that accurately monitors the pressure level, ensuring a complete crimp every time. In addition, the crimping head rotates up to 340 degrees for more convenient operation in tight spaces, and includes a USB port for easy access to tool usage history and maintenance data.

Applications
- High-voltage and low-voltage electrical work: Used for crimping cable lugs in various electrical systems
- Control panel/switchboard installation: For connecting cables to busbars or terminals
- Solar power system installation: Crimping large DC cables
- Electrical system maintenance: For repairing or replacing cables and connection points
- Large building/factory wiring: Suitable for wiring tasks requiring high strength and reliability

Considerations
- Specialized Tool: Designed specifically for cable lug crimping, not a general-purpose multi-use tool.
- No battery and charger included in the set (Body Only): Typically sold as tool only (no battery), meaning you will need a separate Bosch 18V battery and charger.
- Weight: The bare tool weighs 4.1 kg. Combined with a battery (especially a high-capacity one), the total weight increases, which may feel slightly heavy during extended use.
- Requires proper crimping dies: Proper crimping dies matching the size of the cable lugs and cables are required and are usually sold separately.
- Price: Being a specialized tool with advanced technology, the price may be higher than conventional hand tools.
