FAQs
Does this kit include a crimping tool?
No, the 93pc Assortment does not include a crimping tool. You will need a standard ferrule crimping tool to use these effectively.
What is the smallest cable size supported?
The assortment supports cable cross-sections starting at 0.5mm.
Are these ferrules suitable for automotive use?
Yes, these are ideal for automotive wiring because they help secure stranded wires against vibrations.
Can I use these for solid core wire?
Ferrules are specifically designed for stranded wire to prevent fraying and ensure better contact; they are generally not needed for solid core wire.
What is the maximum cable size?
This kit includes ferrules for cables up to 6mm cross-section.
Are the compartments removable?
The storage case is designed with fixed compartments to keep the different sizes neatly organized and prevent them from mixing.
Troubleshooting
Ferrule slips off the wire after crimping
Ensure the wire gauge matches the ferrule size correctly and verify that the crimping tool is applying sufficient pressure.
Difficulty inserting wires into the ferrule
Check that the copper strands are tightly twisted and not splayed; if the wire is too thick, choose a larger ferrule size.
Crimped connection looks loose
Adjust the tension settings on your crimping tool or ensure you are using a tool compatible with the specific diameter of the ferrule.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the kit, ensure you have a dedicated ferrule crimping tool. Using standard pliers is discouraged as it often results in a poor, non-permanent connection.
- Select the ferrule size that matches your wire gauge (AWG/mm²).
- Strip the wire insulation so the copper strands match the length of the metal portion of the ferrule.
- Place the wire into the ferrule.
- Use your crimping tool to apply even pressure across the metal collar.
For care, keep the storage case closed when not in use to prevent dust or moisture buildup inside the compartments. If working in damp environments, ensure your storage area for the kit remains dry to prevent potential oxidation of the metal ferrules over long periods.
