The Cembre 2590329 HNKE16 is a professional mechanical ratchet crimping tool specifically designed for the reliable installation of wire end ferrules (cord end sleeves). As part of the trusted Cembre Crimpstar® series, it provides precise, repeatable crimps for electricians, panel builders, OEM manufacturers and industrial maintenance professionals.

Professional ratchet crimping tools ensure consistent compression of wire end ferrules, creating secure mechanical retention and dependable electrical conductivity. The controlled ratchet mechanism eliminates incomplete crimps while improving installation quality and long-term reliability.
The Cembre HNKE16 is trusted by electricians, panel builders and industrial automation engineers for terminating ferrules in control cabinets, machinery, switchgear and power distribution systems.
