Park Tool EP-1 End Cap Crimping Pliers for Bicycle Cables

Best crimper there is.

I use this tool both for its intended use as well as to cut guitar strings, which are very tough, and it handles that with aplomb. This duty leaves many cutters- especially those intended for softer metals- full of chunks and eventually destroys them. These cutters are true honey badgers.

Did I need a pair of park tool end crimper pliers? Heck yeah! Prob the only ones I’ll ever need too. Well built, feel sturdy and crimp end caps all dang day! As with all PT’s they’re pricey, but you won’t need another set.

Great shop tool. Overkill for occasional use, but a nice to have item.

Very nice clamps if you felt very well strong and durable easy to use great value for the money

Niche tool? Yup. Necessary? Let me put it this way - I wonder how I made through life this long without this crimper! While kind of pricey for a single function tool, it does its' one job better than anything else out there! The only downside of this tool is that once you get it, you will re-crimp every cable on your bike(s). And then replace all the cables that you replaced last month as an excuse to crimp more cables. I can't help but wonder if Calvin and Truman and the crew at Park Tool are getting kickbacks from the manufacturers of cable ends ;-)

Great for the one thing it is supposed to do. Crimping cable ends. The one place where they excel is crimping cables of dropper posts. But Totally not necessary and pliers work just fine.

Great crimps very good product

Calidad garantía y un exelente fabricante, tengo un taller y mi herramienta es parktool, sin queja todo exelente muy recomendable lo mejor de este mundo Exelente producto muy recomendable buena inversión

These crimpers are the final evolution of cable end thimble crimpers. Getting a cable end crimp on derailleur and dropper cables has always been awkward, especially if one tries to keep it neat and short. I've tried several bespoke and some repurposed tools but nothing comes close to these. They crimp from the side as do others but also from the end making tight spaces easy. The crimp itself is small and deep making for a permanent installation.

Praktisch und professionell

So easy to nip up cable end caps. Can be used sideways or end on depending on application. Its costly, but a quality tool, that will always work quickly and reliably.

Nice side cutters that work well but is smaller than what you think.
