I have been building electronic projects and installing cabling for decades, but have never used a ferrule crimping tool. This set is the perfect introduction and I recommend it to anybody not familiar with using crimped ferrules and wanting to get started.The kit comprises an easy to use and effective crimping tool and 28 ferrules covering the range of cable sizes from 7 AWG (3.66mm diameter) down to 28 AWG (0.32mm diameter).The tool and ferrules are contained in a smart two layer plastic storage box with detailed information about the different ferrule sizes inside the lid.The ferrules are made of tinned copper and the insulating sleeves follow the German DIN 46228 colour coding system (apart from the smallest green ones)There are no instructions with the kit, but QI codes on the lid direct you to them on the Internet. The only significant things are the need to ensure the strands of the cable protrude from the end of the ferrule by 0.5-1mm and to give 12mm ferrules a second bite from the tool in order to crimp the entire length.What isn’t mentioned is that ferrules should only be used on stranded cables, not solid, and that strands should not be tightly twisted together. Some advocate not twisting at all, but for fine cables this makes inserting them in the ferrule more difficult.This crimping tool makes square ferrules. These are preferred for connections into terminations where flat surfaces bear down on the conductor and although some might prefer tools that crimp a hexagon for round apertures they are fine for them as well.A first class introduction to ferruling and ideal for the occasional user.

This handy kit is becoming more and more prevalent in the plumbing and heating game where wiring in heating pumps and controls are essential. This just helps to provide a professional finish.
