used them before when subbing. right pain. lug falls off the cable just when it's then too tight to get back on.

Shanky,

I tried a Silverline crimper today with red handles, I cant say I was impressed, it did not crimp very well and only crimped one way. Do they sell different models?

The majority of Silverline "tools" are cheaply manufactured crap IMO. I would not buy any of there products again personally.

you lot must have muscles like 'Garth' to be able to use pliers ' to crimp cables. I have 2 prs of crimping tools 1) red/blue/yellow 2) 10mm-25mm, both ratchet and adequate for my requirements at the mo. maybe I should start going to the gym.

crimping 70mm is hard but i prefer pliers.

we install a lot of control panels so i would say we throw around more weight than a lot of commercial sparks etc. getting new switchgear into a room and put together is not easy with 3 of you

These 'pliers' must have handles 3ft long to be able to crimp large cables, as it is I use both hands to crimp 2.5mm , I really must get to the gym.

As I said in post #11 you really need the right crimpers for each type of crimp.
Where pliers or 'plier-type crimpers' are mentioned, people are talking about crimping ferrules.
 
I have the older 14V version of this, cos I am a Tart :tounge_smile: lol
