The result is technically sophisticated and easy to use. Knipex has applied for a patent for the design and operating principle of these crimping pliers. Crimping of end sleeves (ferrules): self-adjusting and of course accurate Accurate work is called for when crimping end sleeves (ferrules). Adjustment to the desired size of the end sleeves is automatic with the Knipex 97 53 04 crimping pliers. The user does not need to measure manual force when crimping because, thanks to the integral lock with release mechanism, the right amount of pressure automatically reaches the end sleeve. The pliers are optimally set (calibrated) in the factory. Hand-friendly working, even with large conductor cross- sections up to 16 mm2 The transmission ratio of these crimping pliers has been well-designed and is therefore hand-friendly; it provides a comfortable grip width. A toggle lever effectively supports manual force. This enables conductors with large cross-sections to be assembled well even in the case of extensive instalations – also with twin end sleeves (ferrules) up to 2 x 6 mm2 or 2 x AWG 8. The conductors are reliably connected to the end sleeves using a square profile – in all designated sizes.

Review: These ones also give a nice square crimp that can help them fit into some ... - I bought these to replace a cheap pair I had that broke. They work all the way down to 0.08mm and up to 16mm bootlace ferrules, cheap pair only did between 0.25mm and 6mm. These ones also give a nice square crimp that can help them fit into some devices whereas my previous pair did an oblong crescent like crimp that sometimes were too wide to fit the same device. They are a bit pricey but Knipex is a brand I have trusted for the past 12 years as they are of a quality build. ## Features - For wire ferrules up to 16 mmΒ² - Adjusts automatically to the wire ferrule size for precise and quick crimping - Crimping of wire ferrules according to DIN 46228 parts 1+4 - UL approval in conjunction with KNIPEX wire ferrules 97 99 330 - 399 - Repetitive, high crimping quality due to ratchet mechanism (unlockable) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000XIUWAC | | Best Sellers Rank | 65,822 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 188 in Crimpers | | Brand | KNIPEX | | Colour | Chrome | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 968 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04003773028017 | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Grip type | Ergonomic | | Handle Material | Chrome vanadium electric steel | | Handle Type | Ergonomic | | Handle material | Chrome vanadium electric steel | | Included Components | Components Included | | Item Dimensions L x W | 17.5L x 7.7W centimetres | | Item Type Name | ALICATES PARA ENT.
