Correct ratchet crimpers?

[^woody^]

Are these the correct crimpers for insulated crimps?

Something tells me not .... like the deep pointed indent they leave

A crimping tool for use with red, yellow and blue insulated crimp terminals. Simply place the connector to be crimped in the appropriate die in the jaws and squeeze the handles together until the tool re-opens. A ratchet prevents the tool opening until the crimp is complete. A latch is provided so that the tool can be opened manually, after the ratchet has engaged, and before the crimp is complete if necessary.

they look to me like my ones for uninsulated bootlace ferrules. I would have to get them out and compare to your pic to be sure.

the one the OP shows is for un-insulated crimps..

they put a dent in the tube part ..

Yes they are ferrule crimpers and MUST NOT be used for insulated crimps.

 

[ColJack]

not for ferrules.. for tube crimps..

the tool for bootlace ferrules is different..

 

[SUNRAY]

Yes they are ferrule crimpers and MUST NOT be used for insulated crimps.

Apologies.

Having looked again at the original pics they are not for ferrule's, they are for tube crimps, as stated by others.

They must still not be used for insulated crimps.

Plus the 10 and 16 markings on them, insulated crimps are rarely larger than 6mm.

There good ones you have, as they do bare lugs smaller than 6mm, which is rare, however getting lugs that small may be hassle.
