Test result preview
The SOMELINE crimping pliers wire end ferrule set is a useful tool set for electricians and tradesmen. The crimping pliers can be used to crimp wire end ferrules with a cross-section of 0.25 mm² to 10 mm². It should be noted that both insulated and non-insulated wire end ferrules can be processed.
The pliers have square crimping jaws that generate high-quality pressure to securely connect the wire end ferrule to the cable. This shape is one of the most common when crimping.
The pliers have a non-slip, ergonomic handle, which ensures comfortable handling. The set contains 24 types of insulated and uninsulated wire end ferrules and is extremely versatile. It is suitable for electrical work in workshops, on machines, in the car or even in the home.
Advantages
- Ratchet mechanism
- Adjustable crimping force
- Including 2-in-1 multifunctional wire stripper
- Convenient handling
Disadvantages
- The storage box is of lower value compared to the pliers

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.7 stars. In individual cases, customers criticise the fact that the storage box arrives damaged and that the contents are mixed up or incomplete.

In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the ease of use and the quality of the crimping pliers wire end ferrule set were well received by customers. We cannot confirm the criticism from consumers about damage or missing parts; our examples were in perfect condition.
