Extremely user-friendly: precision requiring little time and effort
For the professional crimping of end sleeves (ferrules)
The Knipex 97 52 08 crimping pliers make the crimping of end sleeves (ferrules) simple, giving the user a tool that intuitively enables him to do everything right and creating connections that are mechanically and electrically safe and secure. Insulated and non-insulated end sleeves (ferrules) are crimped reliably to the conductors in the precision-machined crimp profiles. The ideal crimping pressure has already been set in the factory. The integral lock can be released where necessary, and the crimping pressure can be adjusted.
30 % less effort required – the leverage principle is used twice here
Up to 30 % less effort required compared to conventional crimping pliers, made possible by applied physics. The ergonomically shaped handles on the Knipex 97 52 08 result in a long lever arm. The pliers are also suitable for two-handed operation on large cable cross-sections. Special leverage is also integrated in the crimping pliers, so that even a low level of manual force gets to the end sleeve (ferrule) in a well reinforced and carefully measured way. The user can produce stable connections from conductors and end sleeves with little time and effort.
This is how it is done: three hand movements to produce a professional crimp connection
An insulated or non-insulated end sleeve is inserted. The lower handle is then pulled up using two fingers, until both jaws are resting on the plug connector to be crimped, thereby fixing it in the crimp profile. After inserting the stripped cable, crimping is carried out – accurately and permanently securely. The high Knipex quality standards and selection of materials with high-grade chrome vanadium electric steel ensure that all the qualities of these crimping pliers will last for a long time.
