WWWL-68 - Hammer-On Cable Lugs for #6-#8 AWG Welding Cable - Pack of 10

Quick and Reliable Cable Connections

When you are out in the field or in the middle of a busy workshop, repairing a damaged welding cable needs to be fast and effective. This pack of 10 Hammer-On Cable Lugs is designed to provide a secure, permanent connection for smaller gauge welding cables, specifically sizes #6 through #8 AWG. Unlike standard crimp lugs that require heavy-duty hydraulic crimpers or long-handled leverage tools, these lugs are engineered for simplicity. As the name implies, you simply insert the stripped cable into the barrel and strike the designated impact bar with a hammer. This action drives the malleable copper down onto the wire strands, creating a solid, gas-tight mechanical bond that resists vibration and pull-out.

These lugs are an essential part of any maintenance kit. Whether you are fixing a broken lead on a stinger, replacing a worn-out connection on a ground clamp, or building custom jumper cables, these lugs save time and effort. The pack of 10 ensures you have plenty of spares on hand for multiple repairs or fleet maintenance. Made from high-quality materials, they are built to withstand the harsh environments typical of welding sites, including exposure to heat, sparks, and rough handling.

Why Choose Hammer-On Lugs?

The primary advantage is convenience without sacrificing performance. In many industrial settings, carrying a full set of crimping dies is impractical. These lugs allow for professional-grade terminations using tools that are already in every welder's toolbox: a knife to strip the wire and a hammer to set the lug. Despite the ease of installation, the connection is robust, providing excellent electrical continuity that is critical for maintaining a stable arc and preventing the cable from overheating at the joint.

Perfect for maintenance departments, mobile welding rigs, and automotive shops, these lugs bridge the gap between temporary fixes and permanent factory terminations. Their compact design fits easily into tight spaces on welding machines or power distribution blocks, making them a versatile solution for various electrical hookups involving #6 and #8 gauge copper cabling.
