SOMELINE Ferrule Crimping Tool, Ratchet Pliers for AWG23-7 with 23 Sizes Wire End Ferrule Terminals, Quadrilateral Wire Crimp Pliers with Crimp Connectors

I was re-doing my home theater setup and decided, after spending thousands of dollars on the equipment, I should 'grow up' about connections. So I got some good Nakamichi banana plugs and purchased this SOMELINE Ferrule Crimping tool as a splurge. I'd seen some online YouTube videos that used ferrules and a crimper and thought, what the hell, for $30 I'll give it a try. It turned out to be trivial (actually it was even kind of fun) to use and made OUTSTANDING connections. Given that the wires are completely sealed in the ferrules and wire coatings there won't be any oxidation even over the long term. Moreover, I know it's kind of silly, but it gave my system the polished look of a professional installation which I have to admit is both pleasing to the eye and very functional. Is this tool necessary to make good audio connections? No. But it's well worth the cost to make the step up from DYI to professional standards here. One note: I almost gave it 4 stars because it has a lot of ferrule options but not that many of the specific one that I wanted to use for my Nakamichi banana plugs. But, in thinking it over, the fact that it gave me three lengths of the 14 gauge ferrules to choose from should actually be a "+" and not a "-". Given that 1) there were plenty for my project and 2) I couldn't find them anywhere else, this versatility has to fall on the 'pro' side of the pro/con equation.

I don't often trust tools with odd brand names, but I gave SOMELINE a chance and I'm happy I did! This tool allowed me to make my own beautiful speaker wires at home. Super easy and satisfying to use, all compact in its own little carying case. Great value for the money considering the apparent quality of the whole thing. The ferrules were there to stay and the sound through them is A+. Already looking at other tools offered by SOMELINE and have my eyes on a few!

Great assortment of ferrules, I was not sure what size i actually needed for my project, this kit got me repaired and now I know what sizes go with each application. Crimper works great, nice clean and solid crimps.

I was actually impressed with how well the crimper works and the quality I’m finding. The ferrules attach quite securely and seem to be well-made. I’m just using it for electronics projects in my home workshop; if you need them for your day-to-day job, you probably want to spend more money. I really like the sturdy case that holds the crimper, stripper and the ferrules. The only complaint I have is the tray with the ferrules is an exact fit and hard to get out to get to the crimper (suction?). I’m afraid my grip on it may fail at just the wrong time and I will spill all of them. On the other hand, the ferrules getting mixed up while carrying the case shouldn’t be an issue.

This is the quad (square) crimp tool. it seems well made and works well. There are many ferrules of various sizes. I find it very useful and easy to use.

The crimpers and strippers are great, and the connections fit an AB PLC. This would be a perfect review, but the case is designed in such a way that the smaller terminals can, with heavy handling like shipping, wander out of their little bins. A little sheet of closed cell foam on top of the bins fixes this problem permanently, and I reached out to the seller to suggest this as a quality improvement.

works great! part of my tool kit now.

Great product

I used this crimper to install ferrules on the tiny 24 guage wires on a set of 20 LED (fluorescent bulb style) lights I installed in my shop. I used Wago connectors between the 12/14 guage house wiring and these lights, but the tiny 24 guage connectors for the lights were at the very bottom of the acceptable size for the connectors. So to make the connection a bit more secure, I installed ferrules on each 24 guage wire prior to inserting in the wago, and this made the connection much stronger and more secure. This crimper made very strong attachments to the wire ends. And as an added bonus, if you ever lose the end off one of your shoe or boot laces (called an "aglet" by the way), crimping one of these ferrules returns your boot lace back to better than normal haha. I also bought an alternate set of ferrules (also on Amazon) that were a bit longer than the ones that came with this set and this crimper worked perfectly with them too. I highly recommend both this item and the seller based on my experience.

Davvero un ottimo starter kit. La crimpatrice fa un ottimo lavoro ed è regolabile, lo spelacavi è comodissimo e le impugnature sono ergonomiche. Grande varietà di capicorda. Consigliatissimo per il prezzo

O alicate ainda estou tentando,mas aparentemente é muito bom. A caixinha de guardar os crimps é excelente, diferenciada e muito organizada. Detalhe: a caixinha de crimps tbm guarda o alicate. Muito bem acabado.

Buen producto muy completo y de buena calidad

Super prático, alicate de qualidade , já em uso
