LAPP PEW 8.185 Crimping Pliers for Wire End Ferrules 0.08-10 mm² (28-8 AWG) Square Crimp Self-Adjusting 61813736

Creating reliable, gas-tight crimp connections on wire end ferrules is a recurring challenge in electrical installation and control cabinet building. Inconsistent crimp force or poorly positioned ferrules lead to loose connections, increased resistance, and potential failures. The LAPP PEW 8.185 crimping pliers solve this by delivering a precise, repeatable square crimp on insulated and uninsulated ferrules from 0.08 to 10 mm² (28–8 AWG), every time.

Who is it for

Electricians, panel builders, and maintenance technicians who regularly terminate stranded conductors with wire end ferrules and need a dependable, ergonomic tool for high-volume or quality-critical work.

Main features

• Self-adjusting crimp profile automatically adapts to ferrule size, eliminating manual die selection.
• Square crimp geometry ensures optimal contact and mechanical retention in terminal blocks.
• Frontal crimping direction allows easy insertion of ferrules, even in tight spaces.
• Force lock mechanism with release function guarantees a complete crimp cycle before the tool opens.
• High-quality special steel construction, burnished for corrosion resistance and long service life.
• Ergonomic multi-component plastic handles reduce hand fatigue during repetitive work.

Tips

For best results, strip the conductor to the exact length recommended by the ferrule manufacturer and insert the ferrule fully into the crimp die before squeezing. The self-adjusting mechanism will handle the rest, but avoid crimping below the minimum cross-section to prevent damage to fine strands.
