Preciva Ferrule Crimping Tool Kit, AWG28-10/0.08-6mm² Ferrule Crimper Plier Kit, Wire Crimp Tool with 1200 Terminal Connectors and End Ferrules(1200Pcs)

Once you start using ferrules, you'll never go back. This kit gives you everything you need to get started, including the tool and a large variety of colour coded ferrules in a box. The kit also comes with a carry case that holds both the box of ferrules and the tool itself, keeping everything neat and tidy this this unit. The grip is normal, nothing amazing but works. It functions really well and has good accuracy and is easy to use!

I opted for this model, the updated crimper going under the heading of 1200 pieces, because it seemed to be semi automatic and would be easy to use for various size wire/cable. I had noticed that the original model came with a smart zipped case as part of the kit. However as this was not mentioned anywhere I asked the community if one was included. Four previous buyers confirmed that a case was included for this kit. I have just taken delivery and have to inform any new prospective buyers that a case is NOT included. Perhaps I should have asked the question of the retailer. Anyway, my disappointment aside, I have played with the kit and have found the crimper easy to use, feels good in my chubby hands and appears to be well made and will suit my purpose. I have had to deduct 2 stars because it is obvious that a case use to be included when I examine the photos of taken by the reviewers but that one is no longer provided. This should be made clear in the "about this item" section. Update - I have just visited the Preciva storefront and this item is shown with the missing case. I have tried to contact the seller but Amazon is the supplier and I am going around in circles. If the seller reads this and gets in touch I will gladly make any changes to this review if necessary. 2nd Update I managed to obtain an email address for the seller after having given up on Amazon's system (when will they make things easier for us?) I explained my concern and the response was within a day where the matter was explained to me fully. It would appear that Amazon have a weight limit for certain packages so the bag is no longer supplied and although the seller has asked for changes to be made to the details outlined the hold-up seems to be down to amazon. Anyway, an offer of a £10 refund or a new (older model) crimper which is still being shipped with the carry case was made. I opted for the latter and received said package within 2 days. I have to say that in this day and age the actions taken by Preciva store is remarkable. They not only expressed concern but actively did something about it. That is what customer service should be like. Keep the customer happy and they will return which is what I will do should I require any of their products. 5 stars does not do them justice.

I don't have much need to fit ferrules in many of my installations, but it does happen. I decided to buy these knowing that, as long as they performed on this one particular installation, I wouldn't be too upset if they didn't perform exactly as I wanted on the next installation, I was not disappointed. These crimpers, and ferrules worked perfectly, and are sturdy enough for me to have used them on numerous occasions since. What I would suggest is that, if you are someone who would be using a ferrule crimper on a very regular basis, spend a little bit more on a more 'professional' piece of kit. This is not to suggest that these will fail on you, but if your income is dependent upon you 'always' doing a good job, best to be safe than sorry.

Unboxing: The outer cardboard box is sturdy and provides good protection during shipping. Inside is a fabric zip closure case with space for the crimp too and box of ferrules. There's also a multi language user manual which is clear and concise. In use: The ferrules are easy to select with wire sizes on the inside of the box insert. The ferruled hadn't slipped or mixed, despite being shipped. The only improvement here would be to fasten to cardboard insert to the lid so it stays in place. The ferrule material is bright and not tarnished. It can be slipped onto a stripped wire, with the wire either trimmed to length before or after insertion. From there, simply insert into the crimp tool up to the base of the ferrule and squeeze. The crimp tool feels robust, and handled from the smallest to the largest ferrule nicely. The ferrules are then very firmly crimped in place, and would not pull off. They handle insertion into a screwed terminal well, with a good length of ferrule for insertion. This can be trimmed back if required for a shorter terminal insertion depth. The ferrules are crimped into a square shape as expected. This means they can take up more space than the alternative hexagonal crimps in circular terminals, but provides a bigger land for a screw to bite into. Final thoughts: I'd buy it again if I needed another one. This tool is excellent quality and sturdy, and the provided selection and quantity of ferrules is superb. Certainly enough to keep most hobbyists going for a good while.

I've been building some panels for a new customer, who requires ferrules to be crimped with square (four jaw) crimpers. That meant that my £50 CK tools crimper was no good for this job. This Preciva one was the cheapest 4 jaw crimper I could find delivered at short notice. Its a great bit of gear, seems very high quality. I intended to only use it for this one customer/job, but I'm going to use it for all ferrule work going forward. Things I like about it: +The crimped ferrule has a square cross section, much easier to insert into terminals than the C shaped section that the CK one (and all "old school" crimpers) leave. See photo for comparison. +It only has one position no matter the size of wire. My CK one has multiple slots on the die depending on what size wire you are crimping. This one is so much less faff to use, especially when dealing with multiple wire gauges in quick succession. Also stops the apprentice using the wrong size and over/under crimping one. +This Preciva one also does 0.08 to 6.0 mm, whereas my CK only does 0.14 to 2.5 mm! +The ferrules it comes with seem good quality, and the zip case is great. Nice to have it all together, and keeps the ferrules from spilling in my tool bag. +It doesn't ratchet, which is actually good in this case ,as this four jaw type requires so little pressure to crimp compared to the traditional type. Really can't fault this. I've already recommended it to my colleagues. I'm a bit peeved that my CK tools one is going to be retired, considering it was over twice the price of this one, and it didn't come with a case or ferrules! I've only had this for a week, and we have already crimped approx. 1000 ferrules with it. I'll update the review in a couple of months if I have any problems with longevity.

If like me you do occasional wiring jobs at home and struggle with multi stranded cable then this kit is perfect. The crimps are very easy to use and I think makes the terminal safer as there is no danger of a stray wire escaping. Probably a bit expensive for an occasional job like I need, but worth every penny in the knowledge of a sound job and ease of connecting to screw or lever terminals.

What a great tool for the money! I'm an electrician by trade, and have borrowed a more expensive one of these in the past and have been meaning to treat myself. These are a must for small stranded cables, and to be honest I couldn't justify the cost of the others for how many times I need this tool. I must say this comes neatly packaged with hundreds of ferrules in a carry case. The tool itself is quite small, but works perfectly! I have used it on an outside lighting job this weekend and crimped 6 or so 3 core cables and it worked flawlessly. I can honestly recommend this product fully 👍

Nice product for the cost

Quality is marvelous, a German product. job done perfectly.

I liked it all when it came to this purchase. The tool itself it simple, comfortable, well built and compact. Good selection of ends came with the kit in its own decent quality plastic container and both took and connectors have a nylon, zippered carrying case. I found the quality of the crimp to be good and you have small serrated sections to trim away to customize the depth of the pin. I have all kinds of tools and have been employed in the AV low voltage business for 38yrs. This buy is a win.

Used it to crimp some wires on my 3D printers & it worked well! Nice solid crimps. I tried the smallest ferrule in the kit and it worked just as well as the other bigger ones. Easy and comfortable to press. The crimper had some minor cosmetic scratches on it. I think someone bought it for a small crimping job then returned it. Really crummy thing to do.

If you work with this type of screw terminal (see my pic) you need this. It makes rock solid connections that are nearly impossible to accidentally pull out.
