Preciva Wire Crimping Tool Review w/ Comparison to Knipex

[@francoisbelangerboisclair]

The version shown in the video is an older model. They now make one with the same range as the Knipex 0.08 to 16mm. The model number is CP80001 (without ferrule) and CP94120 (with ferrule). They wrote SO 16-6on the crimping for reference.

Great video and I am about to buy one of the Preciva crimpers myself.Just a few of points to add...the big difference with the Knipex is they go up to 16mm stranded cable where as the Preciva is rated to 6mm.. I think the Knipex can also be calibrated but not sure about the Preciva set. Both these points may only be relevent to a commercial/industrial electrician rather than a hobbiest or even an electrician just doing say residential work. For anybody interested, CK and Wiha both do similar crimpers which may be worth looking at depending on budget and availability. With regards the crimps, you can also get double versions to allow two wires to be crimped together so they fit in one screw termination which is very useful. Finally all these boot lace crimps are primarily for use on stranded wires as there is no real benefit to using them on single/solid core wires....

The Preciva model CP80001 (without ferrule) and CP94120 (with ferrule) with the number SO 16-6 written on the crimping tool can go from 0.08 to 16 mm probably a new model to compete the Knipex from the time the video was made.

My tool case is very heavy Knipex, with Klein, Milwaukee and Wera making up the rest. My colleague had these a few weeks back which I tried. I was very impressed. As a mechanical engineer, I only occasionally use my crimper these days, our company would rather I call an electrician in to do the smallest task, and they turn up at their leisure. So, I usually do the job, leave everything exposed then call them in to rubber stamp what I have done. I have a urinal auto flush to fit later this week, I’m going to purchase my own kit to use in the install.

I think the differences become more apparent when using the very fine gauge wire sizes. The cheaper crimps fail to make consistent reliable connections. Also the Knipex can be used with 2x4mm twin ferrules…The same cant be said for the perciva. The increased wire gauge range, ability to use twin ferrules, and reliability of connections in all sizes justifies the Knipex price to me.

The Preciva model CP80001 (without ferrule) and CP94120 (with ferrule) with the number SO 16-6 written on the crimping tool can do double. It can go from 0.08 to 16mm.

This video works best at 2X speed.

1.25 worked for me.

[@roncooke2188]

Great video interesting i have ordered a pair coming today i am looking forward to using them yes i ordered from Amazon

[@SqwarkParrotSpittingFeathers]

I've had this tool about six months. Nothing wrong with them at all.

[@s.mendez7160]

Does the lower handle on yours feel loose like it can move laterally? Just bought one, and its having this issue. Thank you.

[@Fr.VeniceLAI]

Nice, i'm thinking of purchasing a crimping tool for a project. Good review. Yes, the Knipex is top-of-the-line, but way too expensive and unnecessary to purchase for ocassional usage, perhaps, as an investment ?

[@gedheaton1415]

Not 100% sure why I'm watching this tbh, I've never crimped a wire nor do I ever intend to, I'm a postman, whf am I here,that said looks cool,I might get one just in case.

[@P_double_H]

I just purchased the upgraded version of this crimper.. this one has a thumb screw in the adjustment wheel. Not sure if the difference is big, but hey... this one works just fine for the money. I wouldn't really see a reason to spend $150 on a crimper when this $30 crimper works just fine.

[@roncooke2188]

The guy from Amazon very kindly sent me a complete replacement extremely kind of him

[@RobWhittlestone]

K-nipex. Pronounce the K. They're German. I bought the Preciva octagonal crimping tool. I think they're excellent. I use them for making power cables and loudspeaker cables.

[@fauxque5057]

Bought one recently on Amazon for $19.95 You're wrong about the 3 crimps. It does 5 crimps while the Knipex at work only has 4 crimps. You used a smaller shorter ferrule. I primarily use it on 10 guage wires and it has 5 crimps. Not saying 4 isn't good enough, I'm just pointing out it has 5. It's really irrelevant considering the screw terminal is really what bites into the ferrule. The really large ones rely on the screw to provide the crimp. I also do a lot of 4 guage wires and the screw does the crimping. I have a crimper for 4 guage but it makes a trapezoidal crimp that doesn't fit the busbar. So I rely on the screw to crush the ferrule.

I bought one from Amazon and just two weeks it’s going rusty

[@jackmclane1826]

Where is the comparison to knipex?

[@BrianSu]

Obviously these knockoffs are only good for DIY work. If you're getting paid to do a job, that money should be going into your tools and you should work with branded stuff.
