terminals, stacking lugs, street light, stirrup, and repair
sleeves, etc. Certain versions are available for specific
installation applications. The MD6-8 installs almost all of

die set, the W-BG. The tool has two (2) permanent die
grooves, “O” and “D3” for distribution tap connectors.

and are secured with the spring loaded, positive lock, die
retainer buttons.
