ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore the most weight. Here the product has to undergo a wide variety of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

In our field test we use different cable cross-sections to test the different ferrules. To press on the ferrules, the relevant Cables first so far stripped be sure that the exposed wires go almost all the way through the metal part of the ferrules. However, the wires must not protrude beyond this. Then she can Ferrule attached become. To do this, it is pushed onto the cable with the colored plastic shielding first. It helps that the diameter of the shield is larger than that of the metal part and the area in between is bevelled. So let the wires insert easily. Next, the ferrule with the cable can be placed in the corresponding receptacle on the Pliers be placed. The inclusion of the pliers is symmetric, so the ferrule can be inserted from both sides. The ferrule is pushed in far enough so that the metal part is inside the receptacle, but the shielding is not.
For pressing is only little strength necessary. The pliers make a stable impression here. while squeezing CASES the pliers further and further a, so that the pliers can be released again during the pressing process, for example to change grip. However, this was not necessary in our test. Also the Emergency release the snap function works perfectly. If the ferrules are crimped, the pliers can be opened again without the emergency release. Between the different cable cross-sections arise no differences when pressing.
Also the result convinced. The ferrules are fixed with the cables Connection and can no longer be removed. The plastic sleeve covers the transition between metal ring and cable insulation and thus ensures a high-quality look. The ferrules are stable and cannot be bent. Thus, the set can be fully tested in practice convince.
