can you you these to crimp ferrules onto wire. want to repair my own window regulators on car and need to crimp the ferrule onto wire and be verytight

I don't know about ferrules, but, rest assured, this crimper is capable of putting more pressure on the object in the jaws then any other method. The sloooow method of applying force permits the metal to ease into the new shape, probably better than hammering.

Yes, it depends on your crimper. These connectors are longer than the normal ones and your crimper has to open enough to fit the extended length. If your trying to do by hand it will not stay. The crimper has be able to handle the longer length. Had the same issue the first time.

They are really hard to crimp. Even using the proper crimper. Without them you wont get even pressure and probaby spring leaks in the future. Also the real crimper ratchets so if you have to change your grip on it, it wont release the clamp. Basically the extra 55 bucks is totally worth it.

Yes you do the following listing would be a tool that would crimp the terminal "D-sub Dt Series Deutsch Crimping Tool 20-12 Awg" Thanks for your interest Vince

I don't know specifically regarding your crimper, but I did crimp with a crimper that I had for ordinary plugs. A second crimper I have looked like it wouldn't work, so I didn't try. Maybe you can get a view that will show you better. But the reviewers who said that you needed that brand are wrong.

Not easily. They're very hard plastic and hard to cut. I'd recommend making something with wire or nails yourself.

I believe this would, but a lot depends on the quality of the connectors you use. This crimpers, like others, depends on user skill level (stripping the correct amount of insulation etc.) and the quality of the connectors used (in my humble opinion). This crimper works great and the jaws have adjustment screws. On smaller gauge wire it is trickier, but again, it's all in the skill of the operator I think. I also find tinning the wire seems to help on smaller gauge wire too.

They can be tight from corrosion etc. I used a pair of pliers and mine came loose.

the cables DO NOT crimp on.......simple push in and out. your wire end (if like mine) the end piece pulls out so you can adapt and use the male / male adapters.....hope this made sense and good luck

They do not crimp into the wires they only adapt two female plugs together. There are crimp on adapters but have read that they are tough to crimp on rite. Check on line it took me a while to educate myself to get the parts that I needed. Make sure you get the wires the same if not the colors wont be what the same as the remote color shows. I soldered my own wires on to extend or use short pieces for other projects. Use flux on all connections. Harbor Freight sells a cheap third hand with magnifier to hold the wires as you solder them. good luck.

Those look like nice tighteners, but, since the description says they work with 8-11 gauge wire and this is 12-ga wire you are considering, I would anticipate that they wouldn't grip the wire properly and you would be disappointed.

I use them for open barrel d-sub style connectors & the standard red, yellow, blue insulated connectors. They're not suitable for anything larger than 10 gauge wire on insulated terminals. I'm also planning on getting the coax die set soon. They're a fantastic set of crimpers. I've run mine through at least 2000 cycles over the past couple months & they're still as good as new. The only downside for me is they're not compatible with Weatherpack connectors, to I need to order a different set for those.

If a regular connector works these will too. They make contact by piercing into each conductor when crimped. Unless you have a EZ crimp tool from Platinum I wouldn't buy these. This tool trims the edge where the wires poke out. I initially tried to make these work with an incompatible tool . Bought a platinum EZ crimp tool and they work great. Hope that helps.

These are simply connectors. They need to be crimped on to whatever length cables you need. The proper crimping tool will set you back another 45 to 50 dollars, but is necessary for a trouble free, long lasting outcome. These connectors can handle up to 10 gauge wire.

Having to use one on a project, I cut one in half (length-wise). Scary - Really scary.These are not made with 20-gauge. Maybe not even 24-gauge. Barely larger than 30-gauge wire-wrap. I was going to strip and solder one end. But this will be difficult, even with a small, low-wattage soldering iron. These are probably fine for signal-level work (r.f. and audio). For higher voltage and current applications, it may be better (safer, at least) to construct your own jumper-cables.The Chinese continue to scimp on metal. Somthing to keep in mind when buying from Asia. Having to use one on a project, I cut one in half (length-wise). Scary - Really scary.These are not made with 20-gauge. Maybe not even 24-gauge.

Yes, you need a crimping tool in order to connect the pins/terminals to the wire. It does not need to be a "special" one, but if they use something similar to the "Delphi Packard Five-Cavity Wide-Range Crimping Tool 22-12 AWG / 24-14 AWG" you should be fine.

If I remember right we just crimped them . The things we crimped them with are at harbor freight for a cheap price. They held real good. Didn't have a problem. You can solder if you like.
