Why Choose the Cembre MLS1 Mechanical Crimping Tool?
The Cembre MLS1 (2590805) is a professional manual ratchet crimping tool designed specifically for the installation of insulated and uninsulated wire end ferrules (bootlace ferrules) from 0.25 mm² to 6 mm² (22–10 AWG). Designed for professional electricians, panel builders and industrial maintenance engineers, the MLS1 delivers consistent, high-quality crimps for control panels, industrial automation and electrical installations.
Its precision ratchet mechanism ensures every crimp cycle is fully completed before the handles automatically release, delivering uniform compression and reliable electrical connections. Six clearly identified crimp positions simplify conductor selection while reducing installation errors and improving productivity.
Manufactured by Cembre using robust hardened steel components and ergonomic handles, the MLS1 provides long service life and dependable performance for repetitive professional crimping applications.
