Knipex Hand Ratcheting Crimping Tool for Bootlace Ferrule, 0.08 → 10mm² Wire

High quality Knipex crimping tool for bootlace ferrule. This handheld crimp tool is designed to compress pieces of material together with the size of 0.08 – 10mm². The transmission ratio of this crimping tool has been well designed and therefore hand friendly providing a comfortable grip and allowing the user to crimp easily with the perfect end result. The crimping can be easily carried out leaving a hexagonal profile on the crimped end sleeves or ferrules making it much easier if the connection dimensions are tight. This crimping tool also automatically adjusts to the size of the bootlace ferrule to make sure accurate work is performed with each crimp. This feature allows the user not to spend time measuring the force when crimping because the crimping tool integral lock with release mechanism ensures the right amount of pressure automatically reaches the bootlace ferrule.
Features and Benefits
• Self-adjusting wire end ferrule tool with side entry
• Adjusts automatically to different cable cross-sections
• Produces a hexagonal crimp profile
• Optimum positioning of contact surfaces in the clamp connection for confined connection dimensions
• Automatic lock for reliable crimping in accordance with DIN standards (unlockable)
• Crimp pressure is set and calibrated in the factory
• Low-effort lever mechanism
• Easy-to-use shape with ergonomic handles
Typical Applications
Crimping tools can be used for a variety of applications:-
• Maintenance & repair
• Electrical Installations
• Cable assemblies
How to maintain the product?
• To maintain a good function and long life: Axles and other movable parts should be regularly lubricated
• Lubrication* is recommended at least every 10,000 cycles whenever tool is exposed to dirt or other contaminants
• Adjustment of the crimping die nests should also be checked. Readjustment of the pressure adjustment axle is necessary when the pre-load of the tool decreases significantly

*Use a light mineral-free oil

This portable crimping tool is designed to crimp ferrules to bare multi-stranded wires, with a size range of 0.08 to 10 mm². The transmission ratio of this crimping tool has been well designed and it is therefore easy to use, offering a comfortable grip and allowing the user to crimp easily with a perfect result. Crimping can be easily done, leaving a hexagonal profile on the end sleeves (cable ferrules) or crimped ferrules, which makes the operation much easier if the connection dimensions are right.

Crimping pliers can be used in many applications:
- Maintenance and repair
- Electrical installations
- Crimp shop

- To maintain proper operation and a long service life, the shafts and other moving parts should be lubricated regularly.
- Lubrication* is recommended at least every 10,000 cycles when the tool is exposed to dirt or other contaminants
- The setting of the crimping die ranges should also be checked.
- Adjustment of the pressure setting pin is necessary when the tool preload decreases significantly.

*Use a light non-mineral oil
