Preciva 0.08-16mm²/AWG28-5 Ferrule Crimp Tool Kit with 1200pcs Connectors | Bootlace Crimping Tool Kit,Self-Adjsutable Ratchet Crimper Tool Kits, 900 Single + 300 Dual Wire Terminals

This crimper feels good in the hand, quite well made and solid. It comes with quite a selection of bootlace ferrules and, quite interestingly, a selection of double ones, when you want to crimp two wires to the same terminal. It does not have a case and the instruction booklet is a bit of an overkill and doesn't seem to cover the fact that you can adjust the crimping force by moving the selector, fixed with a little screw. Comes on the softest setting. It crimps well as a square and with some quite nice notches to prevent the copper inside from slipping. Quite the strong aggressive crimping really, so it will grip also when you have selected a bootlace slightly too big (as I did). All things considered, I'm happy with the purchase, not the cheapest but the selection of bootlaces makes up for it, so you buy only once.

Thos is a great kit. After too many years of doing auto electrics using chocolate blocks and solder connections, this kit comes with such a massive range of ferrules for all applicantions such as auto and home electronics. Quality is excellent and comes with all the elements you need such as the ferrules and the heavy duty crimping tool.

works well and a nice set. i’ve found that sometimes they leave a little bit of metal flat poking out but that can be bent over and squished again, other then that they are good

Quality bit of kit and easy to use. Week made and comes with a good selection of crimps.

Good quality for the price. Nice and easy to use. Thank you.

I specifically needed some double ferrules for a small job, this kit provided all the sizes I needed. The quality of the tool is excellent, very heavy duty.

Used it over a hundred times on three panels in three days, Works well

This review is for the Preciva Bootlace Ferrule Crimping Tool Kit, 0.08-16mm²/AWG28-5 Ferrule Crimping Tool with 1200pcs Ferrules(300 Dual Wire Terminals), Crimping Tools, Self-Adjsutable Ratchet Wire Crimper Plier £36.99 at the time of review. This ferrule crimping tool comes with a range of ferrules for most sizes the amateur will need. The pliers are comfortable to hold and easy to use to compress a ferrule. The case that holds the ferrules is very useful and it has a label showing you the size and gauges of each size. This is a very good example of a pair of ferrule pliers, but a very brief search on Amazon shows me a lot of competition and a lot of it is less expensive than this one is for the same amount of items. There is nothing wrong with this set, but there is no wow factor and it is more expensive than a lot of its competitors so 4 stars from me. It works well, is easy to use and is comfortable in use but it is expensive.

Fonctionne bien, les embouts sont bien sertis et tiennent correctement, la pince semble solide, pour mon usage, occasionnel, ça me convient parfaitement.

When I ordered their soldering station a short while back, Preciva was an unknown brand to me. I decided to give it a try and was quite impressed with their product. For the jobs I’m doing right now, I also needed a set of crimping pliers. There are many available at Amazon so when Preciva came up in the list again, I decided to order those and see if there were also any good. The crimping pliers arrive in a – apart from the label – very anonymous cardboard box. A sturdy one. The first thing you notice when you’re about to unpack, is the weight. It’s heavy ! And when you take the items out, you notice the weight’s entirely in the pliers, not in boxes or packaging materials. Usually this is the first sign of quality. Inside the main box are a small manual as well as two smaller boxes : a cardboard one containing the pliers and a plastic one with a nice, broad selection of crimping terminals. There are 1,200 of those, divided over 16 different sizes, 4 of which are for combining to wires into one ferrule. The pliers themselves are also packed in a bubble plastic wrap. Really, unless some delivery service employee goes completely berserk, these will arrive in perfect shape. The pliers look good. Good as in ‘quality’. I already said they felt heavy in the box and when you finally hold them into your hands, they really are ! Not uncomfortably so. No, they really feel great. The handles are made of a rubberized kind of plastic, which is nicely non-slipping. When you slightly press down on the handles, the closed pliers open very smoothly with a soft, ratchety sound. Press again and they close the same way. Four ticks total. Another (fifth) tick and they open again. When they’ve completely opened, there’s a bit of play in the mechanism. I’ve seen and used the Knipex ones and, yes, there’s a difference in that respect. But it’s really not a big deal to me if the pliers perform their job as they should. Read on to see if they did. The pliers are of the four-sided crimping type, not hexagonal. This is a matter of preference/necessity. Some terminal blocks are more suited to square, other more to hex. In the end, the terminals will get squashed by the tightening them down regardless of their shape. They can crimp ferrules between 0.08 and 16 mm², a massive difference in size ! The smallest ferrule in the 1,200 piece terminal set that comes with the tool, is for 0.5 mm² wires, and to be honest, that’s already plenty small. I wouldn’t use this quite massive, hefty tool for tinier wires. Of course, it’s comforting to know it can handle them, should the need ever arise. If you only need to crimp really small sized wires, there are other alternatives, I think. I myself only tested the ferrules in the accompanying set. The biggest diameters are typically used in industrial applications or in the home, for grounding wires. Using stranded wire, I started off with the smallest ferrule, i.e. 0.5 mm² and worked my way up size by size to 1,5 mm². The smaller sizes looked a bit rounded after pressing, as opposed to completely square, but that’s not abnormal; it’s the nature of the beast and I also saw that in the expensive competition. Adjusting the pressure alleviates this a bit. From 1,5 mm² on the pressed ferrules looked nice and square. They sometimes had a little ‘rib’ sticking slightly out, which is also not abnormal for four-sided crimping. It’s because of some space that’s sometimes present between the four jaws. Saw that with the competition as well. The pliers make five notches in the metal part of the ferrule, guaranteed to make it clamp the wire very well. When crimping thicker wires, it may be necessary to increase the pressure by turning the knob (+ and – are clearly marked). I tried to pull off several crimped terminals, big and small, but couldn’t. Now for the force that needs to be applied to close the pliers and crimp the ferrules… That’s very important since it will largely determine how pleasant the pliers are to operate intensively. Up to 6 mm² I could close them well with one hand, albeit I feel it’s gradually getting tougher. 10 mm² was harder and I needed my second hand to get the tool to close at the very end. For 16 mm² there was no question I was going to need both hands, even when adjusting the pressure. But the crimps were really good and I can’t say anything to fault them. I then tested the twin wire ferrules. Actually, compared to the single wire ones there was no difference in operation. The diameters here are obviously larger so you need more force but other than that the same. Every time, the two wires were nice and firm together in the crimp and I couldn’t pull them loose. One last thing : the instructions in the manual are written in 5 European languages but they’re very brief. Too brief even, since they forget to mention the knob for adjusting the crimping pressure, *and* the emergency quick release lever for when a ferrule would somehow get stuck. A short, firm tap on that lever will release the pressure and open the pliers. Very handy function to have ! So, that brings me to my conclusion. While Knipex is definitely a step higher up the quality ladder, these Preciva crimping pliers are fantastic value for money at a third of the price or less. If you’re a professional who’s got to use this kind of tool day in, day out, you’ll probably go for the Knipex. If, like me, you’re a hobbyist or occasional renovator, the Preciva pliers will suit you very nicely. And most of us probably won’t often be crimping 10 and 16 mm² ferrules anyway, I guess. I can wholeheartedly recommend this tool. There’s no shame in being second to the market leader in quality and function. They do their job immaculately and when you look at them or hold them, they simply ooze quality. Five stars from me.
