Our German tool supplier Klauke have launched the Klauke K306k Crimping Tool, a neat solution for crimping insulated and non-insulated bootlace ferrules from 0.08 – 16mm². Normally to cover this range of wire sizes an installer would typically require at least three different tools. Now with just a single tool the installer can keep the weight and cost of his tool bag to a minimum.

Hexagonal Crimp Profile

The clever mechanism has a smooth ratchet control moving 6 precise jaws to produce a neat hexagonal crimped result. This has the benefit of ensuring the termination remains as round as possible, fitting directly into the equipment without any need for ‘rounding’ square corners.

Ferrule Positioner – Right Every Time

As a single position crimping tool for a wide size range, to ensure the ferrule is always located exactly in the middle of the jaws, a clever positioner has been added to keep the ferrules central to the jaws. This guide can be relocated on the reverse side for left handed users.

Under the part number K306K, it can handle both single and double entry ferrules and possesses the quality you would expect from a German made product with non-slip handles and a name tag field inside the handle to identify it’s yours.
