SOMELINE Crimping Tools Set with 9 Types of Ferrules - Ferrule Pliers 0.25-10mm²(AWG 24-8) I Electricians Tools, Crimper, Crimping Pliers, Wire Crimping Tool, Crimping Tool

I received this tool and am impressed with the quality. I needed it for terminating a room stat in my boiler as the terminals were fiddly and I wasn’t happy about the quality of the terminations I had made with the multi strand wires. I tried a test with a spare cable (1.0mm2) and both types of connection with the setting as supplied which was midpoint. First time use and it worked perfectly, it’s a really solid tool and am very impressed, especially with the ease of use and the comfortable handle. A dial would have been better to set the tension rather than removing a screw but no big deal. The fittings are everything I need and more and will be using whenever I use multi strand wires. It makes for a much better termination. I use just the bare type connectors when fitting more than 1 connector into a terminal and the coloured ones when just a single connector. I can’t see me running out of connectors as I only use it for diy jobs but it is the only kit I’ve seen that has bare connectors along with sheathed connectors. Very pleased with this set!

The beauty about this crimp set is it's versatility, with lots of different size ferrule's to choose from. The pliers are best set to their strongest setting prior to use, as I found them a little weak as the standard setting, but having said that, they do crimp the wires nice and tightly. If you are working on a cars wiring system, the smaller ferrule's are brilliant for keeping the cable ends clean and clamp down really well, ensuring a positive connection. I have recently rewired the kitchen and have replaced a few terminals with the new ferrules, giving electric current the best flow possible. The one caveat is to make sure you crimp the entire bare section, leaving only the insulation showing, this ensures that no naked wire can make contact causing a short. The pliers themselves are well made and very robust, and being adjustable gives one the chance to create a tighter crimp. Longevity wise I cannot see any problems as they are well put together and the material used for the crimping is very hard indeed. Overall, the pliers and ferrules supplied will provide tight, clean ends to any wires within the range specified by the product, and will give good service life. Highly recommended.

I bought this kit for PLC wiring in medical devices and it works great! Great kit with plenty of different size ferrules for tasks needed; The crimper (hex) makes consistent crimps and leaves the terminated end securely terminated. The wire stripper is nice and sharp and ergonomic and makes easy work stripping most types of cable. My only criticism is that the ferrules are said to be of Germany DIN 46228 colour scheme, however, finding replacement sizes can be a little difficult if you want to keep using the same types of ferrule SOMELINE provide in their kits. That being said, perhaps SOMELINE could sell the ferrules they supply in refill packages? ( I havent been able to find these anywhere ) Overall, the kit is great and the tools I have used from SOMELINE in the past and present have been of great quality and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone needing a cheap yet efficient kit to get the job done.

Great little tool. I have only done around 100 crimps so far, but easy to use and no issues with the crimp profile. Only crimped sizes between 0.5mm and 1.5mm. But so far would recommend for average daily use. Have only given 4 stars as not yet used on larger size ferrules.

Perfect little set of crimps and crimping tool, box is pretty rugged too, great for the price.

Nice handy piece of kit

My husband loved this set far easier to use ..

This is exactly what I needed It crimps well and smooth-action I am very pleased with the kit.
