A reliable crimping tool makes all the difference when time is tight yet precision is non-negotiable. That’s why the KNIPEX Self-Adjusting Crimping Pliers (97 55 04) are a top tool for electricians who want fast, consistent results without compromising quality.
Engineered for crimping wire ferrules up to 16 mm², including twin ferrules up to 2 x 6 mm² or 2 x AWG 12, these crimping pliers automatically adjust to the cross-section of the wire ferrule size, making crimping quicker, easier and guaranteeing a mechanically firm and electrically secure connection. A square compression ensures uniform, high-quality crimps that meet DIN 46228 parts 1 and 4 and the pliers are UL approved when used with KNIPEX ferrules (97 99 330–399).
Built with tight working conditions in mind, the Self-Adjusting Crimping Pliers have lateral access, so it’s easy to reach into confined spaces like control panels and distribution boards and still crimp quickly and precisely. These pliers deliver high crimping force with minimal hand effort, thanks to an efficient lever action, and the ratchet mechanism guarantees consistent crimping pressure every time. That mechanical advantage, combined with a compact, ergonomic shape, makes the tool more comfortable to use during long shifts. Weighing in at less than 500g with a slim handle design, the Self-Adjusting Crimping Pliers are easy to manoeuvre without causing strain. Chrome plated with multi-component handles, these pliers are durable, rust resistant and comfortable to use.
Whatever the job, the KNIPEX Self-Adjusting Crimping Pliers are built to keep up. With their automatic adjustment, ratchet action and compact design, they’re a durable, dependable addition to any electrician’s kit, saving time without cutting corners.
