SOMELINE Ferrule Crimping Tool Kit,Self-Adjusting Pliers for wire ferrules AWG 24-8, With 9 Sizes Insulated Wire Ferrules Terminals,Square Crimp Connector Assortment Kit (GX9-4)

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.

Great kit. crimper works very well, so does the wire stripper. kit comes with every fitting you would need. gre

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

This is an awesome tool. Well made quality. The organizer case is sold and well thought out. The are plenty of ferrules and pretty much all usual sizes and even some uncommon. This will up your game on terminals to electronics even to circuit panels.

Ferrules are if good quality and the tool worked exactly as designed. I am an electrician. But I used this to rewire my cabin cruiser for LiPo house batteries.

These are great for car and home electrical work. The included crimping tool is easy to use. This kit is great for the price. I have used these while adding a soft start kit on my home A/C unit as well as installing an amp and sub in my car. These are great for keeping stranded wire ends clean, safe, and connected well.

I'm writing an interim review - I bought this kit to do a car audio install, but ended up not needing small gauge ferules. I did however use the wire stripper and it worked really well. Overall the two tools have a solid, quality, look and feel to them. If the crimper works as well as the stripper, this is a solid kit, especially at the price point. To the manufacturer: I do have one minor complaint about the kit that is worth noting, but not worth taking off a star: the box itself is a bit aggravating, it takes some effort to get the tool tray off, which you have to do very carefully, lest you jolt the box and knock out all the connectors.

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!

Tenía que hacer unas cuantas instalaciones en casa de carácter eléctrico sobre todo de enchufes, regletas y demás y siempre andaba detrás de una buena crimpadora a buen precio y la verdad es que no me equivocaba. Compré la versión que crimpa las puntas en hexagonal junto con el pelador/cortador de cables. El estuche que viene es robusto, con buenas terminaciones y muy útil para llevarla de un lado al otro y para almacenaje sin liarla con las puntas. Respecto a las herramientas son robustas, con los mangos en terminación gomosa y antideslizante. El pelador y también tiene la función de cortar cables y la verdad es que funciona excelente, corta y pela los cables de maravilla. Y la crimpadora es estupenda, soporta cables de diámetro desde 24AWG hasta 8AWG con 9 tamaños de virolas además de venir puntas sin camisa de plástico para poder empalmar dos cables diferentes por ejemplo. Cuenta con sistema de presión ajustable. Si estás buscando una crimpadora de calidad, a buen precio, no lo dudes.

Good product

This is a great crimp set
