ferrule crimper

[333rocky333]

Need to buy a ferrule crimper for 16mm, but preferably one that does

25 mm as well and 10mm would be a bonus..

Any ideas, preferably under £60 if poss.

Bas, I read you got one recently, any ideas.

There are sometimes a few roaming about outside my house. I'll try and round one up for you.

Found mine on eBay - it does 6/10/16mm...

Do you know what profile you need?

AFAIK, with bootlace ferrules it's not just a case of squashing something securely onto the end of the cable - there are specific cross-sectional shapes - rectangular, square, round, half round, figure-of-8, hexagonal...

The one I got does this shape:

I've used a few different ferrule crimpers with different profiles though have never thought of the reasoning for the differing profiles. Still, they're all the same profile once they've been terminated into isolators, din rail terminals etc - flat on two sides!

I can't see the jaws properly but doesn't that look more like a crimper for uninsulated lugs and not ferrules?

Rocky, is it bootlace ferrules you're terminating?
Most seem to start at 16mm and up to 35mm like this one:

These are the ultimate for smaller sizes (0.25 to 6mm in one jaw size, no having to aim for the right hole)
I just bought an unbranded pair which do 6, 10 and 16mm from Beal (workshop supplies) which are remarkably good and cost just £14.50.

Unfortunately they don't have an online catalogue.

These are what we use, for the smaller sizes, and same crimp pattern, but we need to cut two cables back and fit two new ferrules, we are unsure if it is 16mm or 25mm at the moment.

I have the same ferules as shown, in 16mm and 25mm and are ok for this job,but not got the tool.

This is like the one what I want, I have one that does up to 6 mm,

I may have to get one of these, but will mean I dont have one that does 10mm, though I am not likely to ever need that size.

The ones I was finding were about £140
