I'm getting the materials and tools together to start my control panel build and came across the wire ferrules on the new parts shopping site recently launched.
I'm somewhat new to these end connectors. I did some research and will definitely use them for my screw terminals on contactors, etc.
In researching crimping tools, there are many out there at widely varying price points. Does anybody have a recommendation for a decent ferrule crimper that will do up through 10 ga. single and double wire ferrules without breaking the bank?

Hard to get "one" good one unfortunately to cover all gauges unfortunately.

For 10-6 ga we use: https://www.mcmaster.com/#5722K14

For smaller this is similar to the one we use: https://www.amazon.com/IWISS-Self-adjustable-Crimping-0-25-6-0mm2-End-sleeves/dp/B00ODSJGSW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1534370706&sr=8-4&keywords=wire+ferrule+crimper&linkCode=ll1&tag=theelectricbrewery-20&linkId=8f20997c4a9abae035da16cf03cf3323

Good luck!

Kal

Thanks Kal.

I did some research last night and found a tool with interchangeable jaws at ferrulesdirect.com that will crimp single wire ferrules from 26 ga through 6 ga in two jaw sets and double wire crimps through 10 ga.
