This portable crimping tool is designed to crimp ferrules to bare multi-stranded wires, with a size range of 0.08 to 10 mm². The transmission ratio of this crimping tool has been well designed and it is therefore easy to use, offering a comfortable grip and allowing the user to crimp easily with a perfect result.
