Answer This Question

Thank you for contacting Knipex. We cannot recommend this tool for this application. Our 97 52 67 DT is the tool that we offer for all DT, DTM and DTP (DEUTSCH) connectors.

    Answer This Question

    This tool is used to crimp wire end ferrules according to DIN 46228 parts 1 + 4 from 5 to 23 AWG (0.25 to 16 mm²). It is not designed for use with butt connectors. I cannot recommend a specific model for butt connectors.

    I'm not familiar with the terminology so this may be a dumb question but can you use these to crimp terminals onto wires like small electrical wires found on hvac units?

    Cable links are apparently german for ferrules. Do not get this plier to install anything but ferrules.

      Yes, you can use this tool for your application.

        Is it an OEM or retail packaging item? I plan to give it as a gift so it's nice if this expensive tool is in retail packaging.

                  Hi Chris, Thank you for the question. No, you have to pay online and then you can have the tool sent to the store of your choice for pickup or have the tool shipped to your house. (Orders of $45 or more get free shipping)

                  By|May 5, 2023

                    You may go to the customer service with the item number from off line then order and pay for them at the store. Then when they come in then you can go pick them up. Remember if you're looking for solderless connectors crimpers these are not the ones. These are for ferrules type crimpers.

                      This will not crimp 8 or 10 awg very well
                      I bought this mostly to crimp 8ga and 10ga wire but it does not do that very well at all. It is only a standard pliers size tool and handle is too small to apply enough force to properly crimp a heavier gauge wire. I have some nice pins for making solar panel MC4 ends using 10ga wire and these just would not crimp them tight enough. I'm not a small guy and squeezed the heck out of these things but they don't work for larger gauge wire.

                        Handle too short to provide enough crimping force
                        This is a nicely made tool but it is just a standard pliers size and your not able to apply enough force on the short handle to crimp anything larger than the first 2-3 smaller crimp sizes. I tried to crimp some pins using the bottom two crimp sizes and it just doesn't crimp enough and had to use a ratcheting crimper. So really this tool doesn't do me much good.

                          Be aware these pliers are used with wire ferrules and not to be confused with StaKons. They work great on ferrules. They do not work on StaKons.
