Mechanical Crimping Tools

Mechanical crimping tools – classic hand crimpers for cables

Mechanical crimping tools are hand-operated devices for crimping cable lugs, connectors and ferrules onto copper and aluminium conductors. A lever or ratchet mechanism generates the required crimping force without any hydraulic or battery drive.

This category includes various types of crimping pliers for insulated and non-insulated lugs, connectors and ferrules in the common cross-section ranges used in electrical installation, control wiring and panel building.

Typical applications of mechanical crimping tools

Mechanical crimpers are used wherever small to medium conductor sizes have to be terminated:

crimping ferrules in control wiring and panel building
crimping insulated and non-insulated cable lugs
making crimped splices in electrical installation and machinery
service, maintenance and installation work on site

Design and operating principle

Depending on the model, mechanical crimping tools are equipped with fixed crimp nests or interchangeable dies. A ratchet mechanism typically ensures that the crimp cycle cannot be released before the preset crimping force is reached, resulting in repeatable, standard-compliant connections with defined pull-out strength.

Benefits of mechanical crimpers

no hydraulic or battery power required
robust, lightweight and easy to carry
ideal for tool cases and everyday field use
cost-effective solution for small and medium cable sizes

Selecting the right mechanical crimping tool

When choosing a mechanical crimper, consider:

conductor size and cable type (fine-stranded or solid, Cu/Al)
type of connector (ferrule, cable lug, splice)
required crimp profile (for example square, hexagonal or oval)
expected frequency of use and ergonomic requirements for the user

For larger cross-sections or high crimping volumes, hydraulic or battery-powered crimping tools from our range can be an efficient complement.
