DAS Company is an authorized Klauke distribution partner, stocking and supplying the complete Klauke professional cable tooling and connection portfolio — EK and EKM battery-powered hydraulic crimping tools (6–630 mm²), ESG battery cable cutters (up to 105 mm diameter), copper and aluminium compression cable lugs and connectors (DIN 46235), ferrule crimping tools, ratchet hand crimping tools and interchangeable die sets — to electrical contractors, cable jointers and panel builders across Europe from our Bulgaria distribution base.
Gustav Klauke GmbH, founded in Remscheid, Germany in 1889, is the world's leading manufacturer of professional cable crimping and cutting tools, cable lugs and compression connectors. With over 135 years of manufacturing experience and numerous world-firsts — including the first battery hydraulic crimping tool, the first electromechanical crimping tool for panel builders and the world's first insulated battery cable cutter with 1000V Tri-Insulation Barrier protection — Klauke defines the benchmark for professional cable connection tooling. Klauke tools are specified by utility companies, electrical contractors and EPC contractors across Europe for underground power cable jointing, MV/HV cable termination, switchgear busbar connection and industrial panel wiring. The Klauke i-press® app (iOS and Android) connects to all current Klauke battery tools via Bluetooth — logging every crimp with timestamp, force profile, die code and GPS location for quality traceability documentation in ISO 9001 and utility-compliant cable jointing processes.
The Klauke EK series battery-powered hydraulic crimping tools are the professional standard for cable lug and connector crimping on LV, MV and HV power cables from 6 mm² to 630 mm². The EK354ML (6–300 mm², 60 kN crimping force, Series 22 dies) covers the standard cable jointing and termination range for 0.6/1 kV to 33 kV XLPE, EPR and paper-insulated cables. The EK135 FT (10–630 mm², 135 kN crimping force) covers the heaviest cable sections — including 630 mm² busbar connectors and large substation cable terminations — from a single battery-powered tool. The one-button control concept with automatic retraction eliminates the manual pumping and valve-turning of traditional hydraulic hand tools, enabling single-handed crimp positioning even in confined cable trenches and switchgear compartments. Battery platforms are available on Bosch 18V, Makita 18V and Klauke proprietary 14.4V platforms — allowing jointers to share batteries with existing cordless power tool fleets. The Klauke IPS (i-press® System) records every crimp event — tool serial number, die code, crimping force, date and time — to the i-press® app via Bluetooth, providing a downloadable PDF quality certificate for each connection made without separate paperwork.
The Klauke ESG battery cable cutter range provides clean, burr-free single-cut cable cutting — replacing the hacksaw, reciprocating saw and manual ratchet cutter for LV, MV and HV cable preparation on site. The ESG105 (120 kN cutting force, up to 105 mm cable diameter) cuts armoured SWA cables with copper and aluminium conductors, XLPE and EPR insulated cables and lead-sheathed paper cables — covering the full range of underground distribution and transmission cable diameters encountered in substation and cable trench environments. The Klauke ES32SIS insulated cable cutter (Tri-Insulation Barrier, 1000V IEC 60900 rated, 32 mm maximum diameter) is the world's first 1000V-insulated battery cable cutter — enabling safe cable cutting in the proximity of energised LV conductors without the risk of accidental contact causing electrical shock to the operator. The slim cutting head profile of the ES32SIS accesses cable positions inside switchgear, service fuse pillars and distribution boards where larger cutting tools cannot be positioned without removing adjacent equipment.
Klauke compression cable lugs (DIN 46235, IEC 61238-1 certified) are manufactured from electrolytic copper with tin plating — providing a gas-tight, low-resistance crimped connection to copper and aluminium conductors from 6 mm² to 630 mm². The tin-plated barrel prevents galvanic corrosion at the copper-aluminium interface when used on aluminium conductors. Klauke cable lugs are designed with the correct palm geometry and bolt hole sizes for direct connection to IEC standard switchgear terminal pads, transformer bushings and busbar drillings — eliminating the need for adapter washers or over-drilling of the lug palm. Bi-metal cable lugs (copper palm, aluminium barrel) cover aluminium conductor termination at copper switchgear terminals without bimetallic corrosion risk. Tubular end connectors (butt joints) cover conductor-to-conductor straight splicing in the same DIN 46235 series. All Klauke cable lugs are sized and die-coded for specific Klauke crimping tool die sets — eliminating selection ambiguity on site and ensuring the correct crimp geometry is applied to each lug-conductor combination.
The Klauke EK WF 120 ML battery ferrule crimping tool (0.08–120 mm² ferrule crimping range) covers the complete range of wire end ferrules (Aderendhülsen) used in control panel and switchgear wiring — from 0.5 mm² signal wire ferrules in PLC I/O panels to 120 mm² power circuit ferrules in main distribution boards. The battery-powered tool eliminates the high repetitive hand force of traditional ratchet ferrule crimpers — preventing operator fatigue and carpal tunnel syndrome in high-volume panel production environments. The Klauke K01 and K02 ratchet ferrule crimpers (0.08–16 mm² manual, hexagonal and trapezoidal crimp profile) cover the standard panel wiring ferrule range for contractors and maintenance engineers who require a compact, carry-weight hand tool without battery dependency. The Klauke EKM electromechanical crimping tool provides a lightweight (800 g), fast-cycle (1 second per crimp) solution specifically designed for panel builders crimping large quantities of identical ferrules in production environments.
Klauke interchangeable die sets provide the specific crimp profile geometry for each lug series — Series 22 dies (standard hexagonal, 6–300 mm²), Series 35 dies (300–630 mm²) and Series specific dies for each cable lug manufacturer's palm profile. Die sets are marked with the lug manufacturer's name and cross-section range — providing clear identification and preventing the use of incompatible dies that produce incorrect crimp geometry. The Klauke interchangeable head system on EKM and EK tools allows the crimping head to be exchanged for a cutting head in the same battery handle — extending the tool's capability without purchasing a separate cutter, reducing the total tool inventory for site teams. All replacement dies are available as individual items or complete sets for EK35, EKM60 and EK135 tools.
