Crimping Tools

Hand Crimping Tools are a useful way of Splicing small diameter wire ropes

(FOR NON CRITICAL USE ONLY)

Note: Hand Crimping should be done in several bites, this ensures the Jaws are fully closed to give a safe splice and round ferrule

It is always best to grease the die holes before crimping as this will prevent the ferrules sticking
