The Proskit CP-462G is a hand crimp tool engineered specifically for wire ferrules, producing square crimps across a wide range of conductor cross-sections from AWG 26 down to AWG 10 (DIN 0.25–6.0 mm²). It is aimed at electricians, panel builders, and technicians who need a consistent, high-quality termination on every crimp cycle.

The tool's four-mandrel head creates a true square crimp profile that distributes compression evenly around the ferrule, reducing the risk of conductor damage or pull-out. An adjustable ratchet and lever-action mechanism prevents the jaws from releasing before the crimp is fully completed.

Key Features

• Four-mandrel head for true square crimp geometry
• Adjustable ratchet mechanism that locks until the crimp cycle is complete
• Lever-action construction for reduced operator effort
• Covers AWG 26–10 wire gauge range
• DIN range: 0.25–6.0 mm²
• Steel body with PVC handles
• Overall length: 173 mm

Product Benefits

• The four-mandrel design produces a consistent square profile on every ferrule, ensuring reliable contact in terminal blocks
• The adjustable ratchet prevents partial crimps — the tool will not open until the required compression is reached
• Lever-action construction reduces hand fatigue during high-volume wiring sessions
• The broad AWG 26–10 / DIN 0.25–6.0 mm² range makes one tool sufficient for most panel-wiring applications
