Benefits
The upgraded springs and reinforced crimping mechanism are intended to extend service life, according to the manufacturer. Ergonomic handles with thickened non-slip nylon help reduce hand fatigue during repetitive use. The ratchet mechanism provides consistent pressure so crimps are accurate and ferrules remain secure after crimping.
How to use it
Before first use check the ratchet setting, it is adjustable to alter grip effort versus crimp tightness. If initial crimps feel stiff, turn the dial towards the minus mark, and if crimps seem loose, turn towards the plus mark. If a 16mm² ferrule feels tight in the jaws, crimp a 10mm² a few times first to seat the mechanism.
It suits electricians and DIY users who need a single, versatile crimper for a variety of ferrule sizes. It’s a good fit if you want a durable, low‑effort tool that covers both small and larger bootlace ferrules, though bear in mind manufacturer guidance about initial calibration steps and occasional adjustment.
