Weidmuller are a leading German manufacturer of electrical termination solutions, producing reliable and innovative tools.
“They are worth every penny” our trainer says, “they will do from 0.14mm² to 6mm² cable, without having to look at where you’re placing the ferrule or without having to change the tips.”
One of the biggest benefits with Weidmuller’s Crimping Tool is the rotating die head. “If you’re working somewhere where you can’t easily gain access to, you can go nose on, same as Jokari’s flat cable strippers.”
There is virtually no effort needed to operate this crimping tool, “the action is ridiculously light and easy, whereas with other brands, you really need to press down” our trainer explains.
They are expensive, but strong and robust and an invaluable tool if you are doing it every day. This pair has lasted 7 years with one of our electrical trainers and is still going strong.
“They still have the same performance and at one point I was doing 7,500 terminations a week for 3 months. They had constant use and still worked fine.”
Pros:
- Light and easy action, no effort at all needed to operate.
- Rotating head is beneficial for tight spaces, as you can go nose on.
- Strong and robust, with continuous quality performance.
Cons:
- It is expensive but if you’re doing it every day, it is an invaluable tool.
