Plan a reliable termination
1. Identify
Identify single-wire or twin ferrule, conductor size and barrel length. Check the receiving terminal manufacturer’s ferrule and profile requirements.
2. Prepare & position
Strip to the specified length, retain all strands and insert fully. Use the selected tool within its stated range; do not substitute a larger cavity to accommodate an unsuitable sleeve.
3. Inspect
Check full barrel compression and conductor capture. Confirm the finished ferrule fits the terminal and follow its insertion and clamping instructions.
Common questions before you crimp
Is square or hexagonal crimping better?
Choose the profile accepted by the receiving terminal and suited to its opening. Neither profile is universally better; check ferrule dimensions and the complete connection.
Can I use the single-wire capacity for twin ferrules?
Do not assume so. Confirm the exact twin-ferrule size and the tool’s twin-ferrule rating before ordering or crimping.
Should I buy the tool kit again for a refill?
If you already own a suitable crimper, consider the E-770 ferrule-only option. The HSC8 6-4-KIT already includes 770 ferrules; match the sizes you actually need.

Ferrule and terminal-block fit
Choose the ferrule and crimp profile for the conductor and receiving terminal.
Before ordering
- Check conductor area, ferrule barrel length and whether single or twin ferrules are supported.
- Match the finished crimp profile and dimensions to the terminal manufacturer's requirements.
Can the same range be used for twin ferrules?
Do not assume the single-ferrule capacity applies to twin ferrules. Check the exact tool's stated twin-ferrule capacity.
What should I send for a fit check?
Send the product model, cable or pipe size, connector or fitting part number, and clear photos. Include the intended application so our team can help you identify the appropriate setup.
