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.
