HSC8 164 Hand Mini Selfadjustable Crimping Plier — for Insulated Terminals AWG 126 (4–16 mm²) Why you need this tool The HSC8 164 is a compact, handheld crimper designed to make reliable, repeatable crimps on insulated terminals and cable endsleeves. Its selfadjusting mechanism covers a wide range of conductor sizes (AWG 12–6 / 4–16 mm²), eliminating time spent changing dies or guessing the correct setting. Use it to improve electrical connections, reduce rework and ensure secure terminations in professional and DIY jobs. Key benefits One tool for multiple sizes: selfadjusting design handles a broad range of insulated terminals and ferrules without manual die changes. Consistent, reliable crimps: designed to produce tight, uniform crimps that improve conductivity and mechanical strength. Time and effort savings: compact, easytouse pliers reduce preparation time and speed repetitive tasks. Portable and practical: mini size fits toolboxes and onsite kits for electricians, technicians and hobbyists. Main features and attributes Model: HSC8 164 Type: Hand mini selfadjustable crimping plier / crimper Compatibility: Insulated terminals and cable endsleeves (ferrules) Crimp range: AWG 12–6 (equivalent to 4–16 mm²) Operation: Manual hand tool with selfadjusting crimping action for different terminal sizes Form factor: Compact, handheld design for easy access in tight spaces Usability: Simple to operate — strip wire, insert terminal/ferrule, crimp with steady pressure for a secure connection Performance and usability Selfadjusting mechanism adapts to terminal barrel size, delivering consistent compression across the specified range. Designed for both single and repetitive crimps, making it suitable for individual repairs and larger wiring tasks. Comfortable handling and precise control help reduce hand fatigue during extended use. Typical applications Electrical panels and control cabinets: Crimp ferrules onto multistrand wires for secure connections to terminal blocks and circuit components. Automotive and marine wiring: Create reliable insulated terminal connections on battery leads, grounding straps and accessory wiring. Home and industrial installations: Terminate cable endsleeves for lighting, appliances, and machinery to improve connection durability and prevent fraying. How to use (overview) 1. Strip the conductor to the correct length for the terminal or ferrule. 2. Insert the stripped conductor into the insulated terminal or cable endsleeve. 3. Place the terminal/ferrule into the crimper jaw and squeeze the handles firmly to complete the crimp. 4. Inspect the crimp for a tight, uniform seal and proper conductor retention. Who this is for Electricians, technicians and maintenance personnel who need a reliable, spacesaving crimper for insulated terminals. Hobbyists and DIY users working on automotive, marine or household electrical projects requiring secure wire terminations. Anyone seeking a single, easytouse tool to cover a range of terminal sizes (AWG 12–6 / 4–16 mm²). What to expect A compact, practical crimping plier tailored for insulated terminals and cable endsleeves, offering broad size compatibility and consistent results. The HSC8 164 simplifies termination work and helps produce safer, more durable electrical connections.
