Product Information

Cable ferrule crimping pliers operate either through a ratcheting or non-ratcheting action. The best ferrule crimpers are those that utilize a ratchet mechanism to compress the crimps. From the inexpensive crimping pliers for wire ferrules as a light and compact hand tool to the compact and universal Multi-Crimp® crimp system pliers and the semi-automatic, electrically driven eCrimp system pliers with over 1,500 interchangeable, different crimp inserts – with KNIPEX you have all the options at hand. A wire ferrule is a thin metal tube for terminating the ends of a stripped stranded wire. It holds the strands together to keep them nice and neat. Unlike regular crimp connectors, ferrules do not provide different connector configurations. They are only metal sleeves for managing the stripped ends of flexible cable to keep the strands from fraying out when inserted into terminals. Crimped ends of stranded flex wire

I recommend that you get the kit instead of the bare tool, especially if you are just getting started with ferrules. It will save you from the hassle of having to buy the wire ferrule sleeves separately.

That being said, hex crimped ferrules have a slight advantage over other crimp profiles when dealing with small ferrule sleeves. From experience, the extra crimping points of a hex ferrule crimper result in a significantly firmer crimp. The price for the Preciva ferrule crimping kit is unbeatable. It is such a good value for money, especially with the bonus of 1900 wire ferrules pieces that can last a lifetime. Downsides The only downside of the Knipex is the prohibitive price. It costs at least 5 times more than the Preciva but it is really worth the price. You get what you pay for.

However, you cannot get the benefits of ferrule sleeves if you don’t use the right tool to install them correctly. And there is no better tool than a ferrule crimper. And innovative support. For example, universally adjustable positioning aids or electronic displays for wear and the necessary calibration for crimping pliers for very sensitive crimp connections. In general, the Wiha ferrule crimper is one of the best hex-style wire ferrule crimping pliers money can buy. It offers exceptional quality and reliability. And its quality-to-price ratio is outstanding, making it an excellent choice for professionals such as electricians who terminate stranded electrical wires for a living. ConclusionIn fact, because ferrule crimpers with a ratcheting action require less hand strength, they are called labor-saving crimpers. They are so easy to use even for teens and the elderly. 3.
