Why Choose the Rittal AS4054.008 Crimping Pliers?
The Rittal AS4054.008 is a professional WM-crimp tool for wire end ferrules, designed for reliable processing of large conductor cross-sections in panel building, switchgear manufacture and industrial electrical installation. It is suitable for wire end ferrules without insulating collars to DIN 46228 Part 1 and ferrules with insulating collars to DIN 46228 Part 4.
Designed for conductor cross-sections from 35–50 mm², the AS4054.008 uses a WM-crimp compression profile to provide consistently high-quality connections. Marked die stations assist with precise processing of the relevant conductor sizes, while the optimised mechanical design minimises the effort required when working with larger cross-sections.
The pliers feature a releasable ratchet mechanism, straight tool design and side cable entry. Manufactured from high-quality special tool steel with a matt plated surface, the 256 mm long AS4054.008 is engineered for dependable professional use in electrical workshops and industrial panel-building environments.
