[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 392389, member: 9512"] Weidmuller, Weidmuller, or Weidmuller. PZ4 goes 0.5-4mm sq PZ6 roto is useful depending on where you are criming and goes 0.25(might be 0.18)-6mm sq PZ16 does 6, 10, 16. PZ50 does 25, 35 & 50. That's all I have. IIRC you can get bigger, you might want to look at the SWA ones, they seem OK. If you are serious you'll get a "Strippax" & a "Strippax 16" too, they are great when you are doing multicore cables as you set the strip length for the ferrule and they all come out the same length for crimping. If you are doing 100's then it saves LOADS of grief and hours of time. They ARE worth the money. People say Knipex crimpers are OK, I've never had one. I'm looking for a RYB crimper at the moment, disappointed with the CK one I have. I don't have enough strength in my hands to crimp 6mm sq 6491 with it now, the old "Cimpstar/Newlec" one I had was fine, but after 20 years it gave up. [/QUOTE]
