Your channel single handly got me to fix my house and buy a mower and the rake (grounds keeper 2) you recommended and also a Honda generator. Before when I needed advice I would ask my dad. But I loss my dad 2 years ago just before I bought my first house. Your Channel has been my go to place for advice. Hopefully what I learn from your channel I can pass on to my son. He is 4. We have started doing father-son yard projects based on your recommendations. Thank you for all you do.

I retired from an industry where many electrical connections are safety-related and even specify fastener torque values. It never occurred to me a ferrule crimper would become sufficiently inexpensive to justify purchase for use at home. Thanks for another useful video.

I’m a maintenance tech in a manufacturing facility. Theses types of terminations are used in all of our control panels. Very clean connections and finished product, when used in control panels with sometimes hundreds of terminated wires in a small space.

Helps out so much when troubleshooting or upgrading control panel components.

As a controls engineer who’s used ferrules for years. Having bought it myself recently, this kit is easily the best value for money if you’re a DIY’er or only to electrical work on the odd occasion. Also, Wagos are fantastic.

I saw someone do an electrical repair at work using these the other day. It was a 'mind blown' moment for me since I didn't know these kits existed. They really did work as great as shown in the video.

I do not believe so many people did not know about this thing.
But I am glad they do now.
It is very convenient, safe and estetical to use these sleeves.

Follow-up: I used this crimper and these ferrules to wire my trailer. It worked very well, especially on terminal blocks. I used it on a few small (22AWG) wires which made it possible to use the push-in connectors like Wago. It allowed me to fabricate 8 recessed LED lamps on the bench and connect them in about 10 minutes working in the overhead. Kudos, SC.

I worked for an international company and we shipped industrial electrical control panels to the EU all of the time. Even though the governing standard, EN60204-1, does not require ferrules, all of our end users expected them because it is a workmanship standard that the EU demands. Good stuff.

I worked on garbage trucks and saw these pin connectors on the majority of the compaction controls. I found a supplier and ordered them for myself and had the shop parts tech request them. This KIT is PERFECT, especially for the do it yourselfer that's anal retentive to make great connections!

Just got this from Ali, and was thrilled to see it featured here, and that it actually does the job for that little money. I must say, the ratchet has a real sturdy feel, way better quality than I was expecting. Can't wait to really try it out soon.

[Titans]

I can't believe how many people didn't know about this already. I see that a lot for amplifier connections in car audio systems. They're okay, not neccessary really but I use them because often the wire is a very tight fit inside the terminal and if you have to remove it's not going to fit a second time without a ferule or shortening the wire half an inch and retwisting the end.

The fact that he called us animals, lol

Watch your video for a minute and 39 seconds and I already bought this tool. Wish we had something that like this a long time ago for a good price.

[bertiesworld]

One thing I always do with stranded wire (whether crimping or not), once the insulation is removed is to twist the the cores slightly. Also some brands of those type of crimpers aren't so hot when the wire size gets small. I've known the crimps to fall off because they don't crimp really small size ferrules - even though they look like they have. You tend to get what you pay for.

[robsmith]

Back in my younger years I shorted more than a couple amps because of poor wiring. This is what I needed.

[TheFacilitiesOfficer]

Brilliant, just searched and found in UK with 1800 pc, delivery tomorrow, thanks and another super video 👍

[TheGreatFury]

I bought the wago connectors after watching your video about those, and those worked great when I replaced a ceiling light so I'll probably try these things too on my next project that uses these kinds of wires!

[PowerEquipmentMan]

Awesome job. I've been a small engine mechanic for over 20 years and somehow you can still find tools and gadgets I've never seen! Keep up the good work!

[Qternocq]

Bought this immediately even though I'm not going to need it anytime soon. You're a good salesmen.

[jersey-dude]

I had to stop back here and thank u. I saw this vid a few days ago and ordered this from your link. I had a little project to do and wow, these things are freaking awesome! Really made my job super professional and tight. Thanks!
