we use the same set for cables when these are too smallCheers Tel, those look the business and cheap too. They are a hex crimp die right ?
I've been stuck with one of these type for ages and they are a right pain to use for lugs so small. Very inexact and not really a suitable die shape.
the ones my mate used cost him £50 new on ebay
there really cheap, everyone should own a set
got one like the RP16 here, but mine is 6 -16.

yep hex crimp. mine are same but say haupa on them so they were £70. daylight robbery, pay for the name.

used them before when subbing. right pain. lug falls off the cable just when it's then too tight to get back on.
Shanky,
I tried a Silverline crimper today with red handles, I cant say I was impressed, it did not crimp very well and only crimped one way. Do they sell different models?
the ones i had were blue handled.
i got them before christmas and not had an issue with them.
my last set were still going strong after 2+ years till some scrout knicked them
The majority of Silverline "tools" are cheaply manufactured crap IMO. I would not buy any of there products again personally.

you lot must have muscles like 'Garth' to be able to use pliers ' to crimp cables. I have 2 prs of crimping tools 1) red/blue/yellow 2) 10mm-25mm, both ratchet and adequate for my requirements at the mo. maybe I should start going to the gym.
crimping 70mm is hard but i prefer pliers.
we install a lot of control panels so i would say we throw around more weight than a lot of commercial sparks etc. getting new switchgear into a room and put together is not easy with 3 of you

These 'pliers' must have handles 3ft long to be able to crimp large cables, as it is I use both hands to crimp 2.5mm , I really must get to the gym.

As I said in post #11 you really need the right crimpers for each type of crimp.
Where pliers or 'plier-type crimpers' are mentioned, people are talking about crimping ferrules.
these for example crimp 16mm ferrules.
insulated crimps or lugs are a lot harder than ferrules
why didnt you go hydraulic instead? does your drill use the same batteries then
Got it relatively cheap off the bay for a job I needed it for at the time, it did the bigger sizes that my manual hex crimp did not do, I also have a version of the indent type you have just posted.

We had one of those at my old place, because we used to make off a lot of 120mm singles. Great bit of kit.
I don't think I could justify buying one myself now - it seems a bit OTT for doing yellow through crimps.
I doubt I would have paid the new price for it, I would have went for the hydraulic manual pump type,
To whom it might concern. Silvercrest is an own brand of lidl kitchen products and parkside is the own brand for tools.
