£110.60
The Cembre 2590299 HNKE4 is a professional mechanical ratchet crimping tool designed for the installation of wire end ferrules (cord end sleeves). As part of the trusted Cembre Crimpstar® series, it provides accurate, repeatable crimps for electricians, panel builders and industrial maintenance professionals working with control panels and automation systems.
Featuring a factory-set ratchet mechanism, the HNKE4 ensures every crimping cycle is fully completed before the handles release automatically. This eliminates incomplete crimps while delivering secure, low-resistance electrical connections. Its ergonomic moulded handles and toggle-action leverage minimise operator effort during repetitive use.
Designed for 0.5 mm² to 4 mm² wire end ferrules, the Cembre HNKE4 is ideal for electrical control panels, industrial automation, OEM manufacturing and general electrical installation work where dependable ferrule termination is essential.
Professional ratchet crimping tools ensure consistent compression of wire end ferrules, creating secure mechanical retention and reliable electrical conductivity. The controlled ratchet mechanism helps eliminate incomplete crimps while improving installation quality and long-term performance.
The Cembre HNKE4 is widely used by electricians, panel builders and industrial automation engineers for terminating ferrules in control cabinets, machinery and power distribution systems.
