Ferrule Crimper

[Maintenance2]

Trippled the number the panels we build a year. Looking into the cut, strip, ferrule crimp tools with the barrell chamber that holds a strip of ferrules and you just stick the stripped wire in and crimp. Looks like there are 3 popular versions. Phoenix Contact 1200101 Crimpfox 4 in 1, Weidmuller 9020000000 and Panduit CT-1000. Anyone have experiences with these or any other I may have missed? Recommendations?

I'm not surprised that your question has evoked no response. A lot of panel builders don't like to use ferrules. I've looked at the three crimper models you listed. If you're using ferrules on wire that's 10AWG or smaller then i'd recommend the Greenlee Wire Ferrule Crimper K30GL. There's no worry about the ferrule being off-center of the die when crimping. The Greenlee crimper automatically adjusts for the ferrule size. They used to be quite a bit less expensive than any of the Euro-designed tools but a quick search shows they currently retail for about the same price.

K30GL is just a crimper. it does not cut or strip wire, does not have ferrule magazine...
