This is How: KNIPEX automatic crimping pliers

Ever wondered what the ratchet mechanism on KNIPEX automatic crimping pliers does?

Basic crimping pliers need you to manually gauge the pressure—too little, and the sleeve won’t hold; too much, and it could be damaged. KNIPEX crimping pliers with a positive lock ensure the handles release only when optimal pressure is reached, and they even open automatically if you apply too much pressure. Of course, precise calibration is essential, and that's exactly what KNIPEX is known for.

Did you always get the pressure right with basic crimping pliers?
