HSC8 16-6 Crimping Pliers: Essential, Without Complications
A poorly crimped ferrule can loosen in a terminal block and create a poor contact. The HSC8 16-6 covers conductors from 0.08 to 16 mm² to form consistent crimps on tubular ferrules used in control panels and wiring.
Why it makes a difference
-
Wide range of cross-sections: A single pair of pliers covers small conductors as well as cables up to 16 mm².
-
Cleaner preparation: Crimping holds the strands together before insertion into a terminal.
-
Robust construction: The carbon steel structure is suitable for repeated electrical work.

Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable for conventional pre-insulated terminals?
It is primarily intended for tubular ferrules. Check the required profile for each terminal before use.
How do I choose the cross-section?
The cross-section marked on the ferrule must correspond to that of the stripped conductor.
Manuzen's advice: Cut the insulation cleanly without damaging the strands, insert the cable fully into the ferrule, then crimp with the power off.
