I have just bought the parkside crimping tool and found the instructions were laughable. so I did the normal thing and googled.... and found not too much in the way of info, So I will add my observations this other wise good video (best out the ones I watched)... 1) The red tab can be moved outwards to the right to allow for a longer length of wire to be stripped. Note: swing it out 90 degrees so it can be easily moved (it has little groves on one side for grip) then tuck it back in place. 2) The chrome plated adjustment knurl appears to set alter the force required to strip a wire. Fully out (ie -ve), it is easy to strip, but the cable is not held very tightly and can slip leading to bared wire behind the actual cut from the gripping teeth. Wind it fully in (ie full clockwise) and a little more force is required to operate, but the cut is cleaner and a better result obtained. I suspect the knurled tab simply screws into the round washer looking thingy (sorry couldn't think of a better word) that cab be seen immediately to the right of the tab when the tool is open, so provides the additional resistance required to strip wire. So ignore the hole The pink bullet connectors are should be heat shrunk to provide a more waterproof connection. The very thin butt connectors (no sniggering please!) are simply crimped over an exposed bare end of a wire to allow for easy insertion into a terminal. In conclusion, I like this tool and expect to use it regularly around my workshop. The stripping tool works well, especially on flat cables but can also be used on rounded cables, but more care is required not to expose wire. The crimping tool is OK, but not fantastic. I will use the 3 dotted crimp for all insulated connectors and use the others for ferrules and other non insulated connectors where a better (stronger) connection is required but only at the risk of puncturing the insulation. I expect for larger jobs, I will carry my actual crimper as well as the Parkside. from the gripping teeth from the gripping teeth

Can you show how to crimp ferrule bootlace with it? I've tried few times, but it doesn't work well... tnx!

The first crimp section from the cutter is meant to crimp the plastic insulation while the rest are used for actual crimping!!

It's offered currently in Lidl Bulgaria for 11.25 EUR. I dont know if its worth it at that price.

Great video. Can anyone tell me: 1) What is the chrome wheel for below the red stopper? 2) Why does it have 3 differen coloured dots on it and also the what is the lower section for?

@PreparedCamping

1. That wheel is to adjust the depth of cut for stripping the plastic sheathing from the wire for different wire thicknesses 2. The area at the bottom is for crimping the various attachments to lock in place on the wire

How do you use the so-called bullet connectors? They don’t seem to relate to the set.

I got mine when it was in store last time I did the review as a heads up to look out for them as they're part of the DIY event from Thursday Nigel

I bought one from Lidl , but it doesn't matter how I adjust the wheel , it cuts the wires from striping , do you have any ideea ?

l noticed you missed out 2 of the connectors ....namely the " Bullet Connector " ( it isnt called that by the way ) and the one in front with no plastic coverings l think you will find that the connectors without any plastic wont work with this type of tool. They are normally used to connect wires to " chocolate block type connectors " or even the terminals in sockets and plugs..............l have bought a seperate tools for that type of crimp connector

Don't really understand the complaints about instructions. If you are graduated electricians you don't need any instructions. And if you aren't than you are not allowed to interfere with residential electrical distribution in your home by law!! besides your owned electronic appliances
