- SOMELINE Ferrule Hexagonal Crimping Tool Kit, 21 Sizes Ferrules, 24-8 AWG Ferrule Crimper, Hexagonal Crimp Pliers Ferrule Terminal Kit

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.

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.

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.

Solid kit overall. Performs reliably and offers excellent value for the price.

love this tool set very good quality does everything it supposed to do and I love the box can store other little tools and leftover to keep handy. very satisfied

works great! part of my tool kit now.

So simple to use and makes the connections look great. I use heat shrink on mine as well. Tool works great.

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.

Une pince pratique et facile pour sertir du câble jusqu'à 10mm², la pince a dénuder est tout aussi utile mais que jusqu'à du 6mm²

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

I received this tool and am impressed with the quality. I needed it for terminating a room stat in my boiler as the terminals were fiddly and I wasn’t happy about the quality of the terminations I had made with the multi strand wires. I tried a test with a spare cable (1.0mm2) and both types of connection with the setting as supplied which was midpoint. First time use and it worked perfectly, it’s a really solid tool and am very impressed, especially with the ease of use and the comfortable handle. A dial would have been better to set the tension rather than removing a screw but no big deal. The fittings are everything I need and more and will be using whenever I use multi strand wires. It makes for a much better termination. I use just the bare type connectors when fitting more than 1 connector into a terminal and the coloured ones when just a single connector. I can’t see me running out of connectors as I only use it for diy jobs but it is the only kit I’ve seen that has bare connectors along with sheathed connectors. Very pleased with this set!
