Favorite Crimpzange

Until a few years automatic crimping pliers pressed mainly trapeze-shaped, usually only up to 4 mm². For larger cross-sections it took separate tools, for example three-stage mm² with 6-10-16.

Benefits:

Compared to earlier times one has the local products present a single product, which covers a relatively large area of ​​the square shape.

It know towards cheaper models with ergonomic handles good operability on. The weight is well balanced, the mechanics smoothly. Working with cheaper models of crimping pliers with Angular one-component handle can often use some pain in long /.

Compared to longitudinal notches or trapezoidal cross-section of the processed sleeves the square shape is more advantageous. Especially if, for example in screw terminals with mostly square introducing relatively large cross sections can be connected.

The lever for the selection of areas [0,08 up to 10 mm²] and [16 mm²] can be folded easily.

The disadvantage:

There can be only 15 millimeters wide and crimp ferrules introduce. A complete pressing longer sleeves is not possible. But these are at 10 and 16 mm² often be encountered, in Distrib example. Knipex 97 53 04 Crimping pliers 180mm 0,08-10mm² With the link called tongs squeeze could be arbitrarily long sleeves.

The waveform of the pressure, looks to get used to. However, with increasing cross sections decreases this. And as well as ferrules are usually used anyway with screw, resulting from this ripple no problem.

Despite the small compromises, a Super-tong. Would I buy definitely be back.
