Still can’t get rid of the side cutters (cable cutters) though, because you can’t use this multi tool to get rid of the copper sticking out of a ferrule! One reason why I prefer dedicated tools.
Wonderful presentation. You have no idea how useful your video was to me. I was about to too much money on Knipex self adjusting pliers, and stripper, and a cutter - out of lack of information. This 3-in-1 tool blows my mind. Cheers!
This style is okay for building wiring looms up outside the panel, but as soon as you are inside a panel with all the components mounted inside, the cutter becomes awkward to use and I often revert to using side cutters for cutting the cables to length. There may be a similar issue with the ferrule crimping tool for some panels.
I tend to find the Knipex 97 53 18 Twister ideal for those tighter situations, not perfect but if you're not fussed about a multi-tool because you already happen to have the other tools with you it's generally a better buy.
@@effervescence5664 Yes, I have the Weidmuller version of that Knipex crimper, which has served me well over the years, just need a similar version for insulated crimps!
I know nothing about the subject. But... I watched the video til the end and it was interesting to watch. I also gave you thumb up and took time to write a comment to thank you for taking time to share knowledge. Best wishes.
Nice.. ive had the Jokari quadro for years, brilliant bit of kit but only does ferules up to 2.5mm , plus side you get a ferule magazine ..4mm would come in handy from time to time
I use a tool labeled "Bessey Erdi D49 160mm" to trim off the excess copper at the end of ferrules. It has a round cut blade so it can also shorten the length of a ferrule if it's too long, without deforming its end.
I’am not saying I don’t like it. It’s a nice tool Nice if you like wasting your money, now most of the previous models will be binned. I will stick to what I already have . I bet that’s about £70/ £80 just to replace two perfectly good tool with a fancy new good tool . Madness. But who am I to argue i’am just a humble spark who’s opinion means nothing. Great video and demonstration as always Gordon 👍
@@efixx only if you go for the brands with fancy names .

£119 from ITS no thank you Gordon you said it’s ideal for electricians who are doing crimp’s all every day then I have to agree with you, you also said you think it would be good for general electricians electrician who use crimp’s once in a blue moon are not going to wast a £119 on a tool that will just sit in the bottom of there tool bag never tobe seen again or it will be lost somewhere in the back of his van . So I don’t agree on that point
@@efixx You'll need to get an auto crimper anyways for anything above 4mm so what's the point. Cheaper to save a bit of cash by getting the stripper without the crimping if you're gonna have to get two tools anyways
@@stefanatli7769 what did you do before that new over priced tool came out . We are all being brainwashed into believing that wen a new tool comes out we need it or we have to have it .

Ferrule crimper seems pointless as you have to put the tool down to put the ferrules on. So may as well use a separate ferrule crimper. Otherwise a good tool. Will probably buy the older version as now it will be much cheaper thanks to the new one being launched!
Wierd that they didn't put the same jaws as the Preci-strip 16. They used the flatter and less grippy ones from the multistrip. The force adjustment seems meh too. They should've upgraded the Preci-strip by just adding the crimper instead of downgrading
Like any multi-function tool, it does a worse job at all of them. It's fine for wiring up a table top full of loose wire, I guess. The stripper will be useful if someone else is holding the wire, but side entry is better flying solo. It's huge too, why is it so big? I love my little nippers, sharp and...little.
Jack of all trades, master of none. I love Knipex products but don't care for this tool. First of all, I'll endorse hex crimps 100% of the time. I have crimped more square ferrule crimps than anything else, and I'll never go back. The wire backstop is great but I don't like the stripping mechanism. This a a good tool but I disagree that it'll replace a good (proper) set of strippers and the Knipex hexagon ferrule crimper. The use case for these tools is why they existed in the first place.
Introducing the Knip-o-matic II. New, improved cutting blades make wire work faster and easier than ever! It slices! It dices! It can turn whole ten-gauge wires into confetti in seconds, not minutes! It's the perfect party gift! Order now!
Seriously, though the tool geek in me is drooling profusely (despite the fact that I've not crimped a ferrule in a decade) while my inner skeptic is wondering how well a machine of such delicate complexity will hold up in the field (perhaps that lanyard loop is a subtle warning to not drop the tool even once). One hand clambering for my credit card and the other hand slapping it away.
Добрый день! Все хорошо, но 4мм² очень мало! Хотелоь бы 10мм² нужно, тогда этот инструмент выйдет в ТОП по прожажам. Либо 2 инструмента, один на 4мм², другой на 10-16мм². Так он будет годен только для щитов НКУ Good afternoon! Everything is fine, but 4mm ² very little! I would like to ² 10mm, then this tool will be released in the TOP in terms of burns. Or 2 tools, one for 4mm ², the other for 10-16mm ². So it will be suitable only for LVA shields
No mag for ferrule strips, not really god for panel building and too bulky for installation work (have small size bernstein 3 in 1 tool that fits chest pocket). Nice try Knipex, bit disappointed with that companys design!
@@herrtomas6729 Technically speaking, the square shape is much better than a hexagonal one. You pinch the ready cable between two flat surfaces or just bolt it - much safer with square shape's two *bigger* contact surfaces. Other than that, if the tool doesn't affect the job negatively, who cares about the brand. 👍
It's a slight twist just so you can push the strands easily into the ferrule without smashing them backwards. I bet that would be a worse situation. After all, you're compressing them hard inside a metal tube and then you bolt/clamp on it with yet another force, so... Let's stick to reality and not just engineering guidelines. 😉✌
I bought these pair thinking it would be a quality product. Nah, this thing sucks! Plastic construction and the crimper is not even good! You failed me on this one knipex!

Thanks for the review. That is a great multi function tool. Might have to order one!

Glad I just went out & bought a precistrip last month 🤨
Does it strip T&E?
The Weidmuller tool similar to this also holds the boot lace ferrules in strips inside the handle and it has probably been available for 25+ years
Nice.. ive had the Jokari quadro for years, brilliant bit of kit but only does ferules up to 2.5mm , plus side you get a ferule magazine ..4mm would come in handy from time to time
The editing...✨
Will this work with 12/3 or 14/3 wire

we'll check those out - we've got some huge ferrules coming soon.
It is a pity that the crimp action could not have been added to the preci 16.
Looks great, thanks for the video

But how does it perform on flat cables such as T&E or 3C&E? This wasn't shown.
Edit: Sorry to Gaz, I should have said twin & CPC or three core & CPC 😁
It’s built for round cables only - no T&zero with this one.
No point showing it on flat t&e .. you wouldn't fit ferules to solid core conductors
Both of my cutting and stripping blades chipped after few time of usage. So frustrated.

I’ve had the multi strip for years
@@efixx Fair enough. It does say Knipex on it.
Might be ok if you have plenty of space which is rarely the case
Hmm, a little disappointed with mine. Tried 10 ferrules so far of different sizes and 8 pulled off.
Double check the ferrule is the correct size for the conductors. I mixed up the German and French coding.
Probably more disappointed with yourself.
@@nw5835 how did you know?
Hi, did you manage to find out what's the issue? Thanks.
@@lemech The ferrules pulled straight off - French and German DIN systems clash on a few similar sizes 1 or 1.5 mm sq are both red!

What is the red insert clipped into the upper handle for?
Watch towards the end of the video
DO NOT twist the wires for the cable ferrules. NEVER.
Only 4mm I would have bought it if it had a bigger cramp diameter
Might still buy it tho
This looks like an awesome stripper but AFAIK it's not available in the American market (yet?) despite the AWG markings.

Can you recommend a model you would use?

@@DjallalArchi 5-532
Prefer the (very much cheaper) Preciva crimper - for £30 you can have a hex-crimper; better than square!
I got mine for £16 from Amazon
@@w75525 yeah, £16-£30 depending on which one and the choice of crimp sets…..
Still beats the Knipex even if it doesn’t last as long.

£230! For a wire stripper?
We need you need to shop around should be around £100
Oh no, never never twist the strands for ferrules and connectors!! This is totally wrong and can be a fire hazard!!!

80% plastic, I don't know why it costs so much
Probably has to do with the engineering
Will it strip that lsf shite?
I can hear maybe 2/3 of what you're saying because your volume drops off often.
5:40 😂😂😂😂
it's mine *GR
£100 wouldn't dare
£100 ex vat, a normal Knipex price there, why keep adding features to tools so they become a master of none and the job they do is a bit mehhh.
This is not good quality product i bought and i return back then i bought different knipex product i am not happy with this product

Seems horribly inconvenient and they need to stop with the paper sticker nonsense.
