- I bought the cheapest ratchet ferrule crimp tool i could find. Is it worth buying?
This is not a paid promotion.

I noticed that the stripped wire wasn’t past the end of the bootlace and you should use the smallest bootlace possible plus you should only put the lightest twist in the conductors when putting the bootlaces on
Twisting is not needed to guide the strands into the ferrule because the plastic collar does that job.
And and twisting the strands - however lightly - is NOT recommended for the optimum crimp, because the crimping tool action is designed for parallel strands, so that a gap free, gas tight crimp form is achieved.
Twisting hinders the crimping action!
I want to buy one it seems like it would come in really handy for a lot of applications and situations because stranded wire can be a bit of a pain to work with.
You sounds a bit dissapointed that it actually works...🤣....for the common diy'er it does the job. If you are pro, then buy a pro-tool. I bought a Waco Variocrimp 4 at a garagesale for nearly nothing, because the seller didn't know what it was for.
Having small hands is no excuse to give them a thumbs down mate. They are ratchet crimpers, ratchet them until the jaws grip the ferrule then if need be you can use both your small hands to work them.🙂
Also use the correctsize ferrule for the cable, you didn't say which standard they were. There are 3 standards 2x German and 1x French which use a lot of the same colours for different gauge size👍
I don't think I gave them a thumbs down at any point in the video mate 🤔 .
After a year what's the verdict?
I used one today for the first time, never used a Ferrul before ,; thought was great
@ 4:18 "I was half expecting that not to work", already baised from the getgo. A tool was made and it works, that cost the end user less that $10. What else do you want--seriously? I am questioning what I am paying for, for my pair of Knipex that cost almost $200.
Thanks for the video =)
Good for the end of shoe laces.
I imagine it might be worth it to the average dude for the ferrules alone
If its for a tradesmen it might not last long. But for guys like me this is perfect and well worth the money
What sort of Chief tech uses a crimping tool twice a year?
At the time of this video I was technical manager of a bowl in the UK. This wasn't a tool is used every day. Since then I've moved into a new role, I've used it near enough weekly. Thank you for the kind comment. Hope you enjoyed the video
😳Dude..., your fingers. Maybe you should buy the cheapest bottle of lotion on Amazon and do a review of that.
Thank you for your concern random person on the Internet. I work with my hands so they get a bit bashed up. I'm sure you have the most beautiful hands and do hand modeling for a living. Thank you for the suggestion.
@@thechieftech7499 😂 lmao! I wasn’t trying to be mean. I work with my hands as well as I’m in construction, so no hand model here. But because we are in the fields we are, all the more reason to take care of your hands. Yours look dry and sore. A little lotion and TLC goes a long way. Take care & great vid
i doht understand the "+ -" setting.😢
Plus or minus more/less pressure. If the crimp wasn't tight enough you could adjust it
K-nipex not nipex!
One thing that I've been wondering about ferrule crimpers, is, outside of the standard car audio industry, what would someone use wire ferrules for? I understand that the main usage is to keep your wire ends from fraying, specifically while using screw type wire connectors for instance on the back of certain audio equipment, or on certain wire quick connects, but I'm wondering what other uses especially for the tiny looking ones shown in this video might have? For instance, I'm wondering if someone could use a wire ferrule, to make a slightly skinnier wire more eligible for use in something like a WAGO nut, or other similar purpose?
Please note, that I am not talking 120 volts or 240 depending on region, I'm talking just like your standard 12-volt or 24 volt or similar lower voltage setup, that wouldn't be as picky in overall connection quality
Also note, that a similar tool kit, with crimper that's that style, and something like 1600 ferrules, is around 23$ US(For those like me who are in the US) not sure what the exchange rate is, so yeah, you'll have to figure it out yourself if you're in another country outside the US...
