Precision meets flexibility: EMC-direct sets standards with premium tools
Dorsten, 25 March 2026 - Whether vehicle construction or electrical installation: absolutely reliable cable connections are essential in challenging installation applications. The editors of the trade magazine "kfz-betrieb" conducted a practical test to find out which crimping tool delivers the best results. The result makes you sit up and take notice: The TOOLOVA® TF Plus from EMC-direct clearly won the test against well-known industry giants.
Convincing test victory under tough practical conditions
The test involved crimping pliers with positive locking, which are among the most widely used models in the professional environment. Specifically, the focus was on type B pliers, which are designed for connecting stranded cables with cross-sections of 0.25 to 6 square millimetres with non-insulated contacts. The test was carried out by trainee specialists from the Hahn Academy under real-life conditions.
TOOLOVA® TF Plus competed against renowned competitors. The crimping pliers from EMC-direct impressed across the board and received the top rating of "very good" in all five evaluation categories - operation during the crimping process, release of the positive lock, crimping result and insensitivity of the handles to lubricants.
Flexibility thanks to innovative quick-change system
A key differentiating feature of the TOOLOVA® TF Plus is its head design. While most of the competitors in the test rely on permanently installed crimping dies, the EMC-direct pliers are equipped with interchangeable dies. The test impressively disproves the prejudice that flexible interchangeable systems mean compromising on precision: The mechanical and optical crimping result of the TF Plus was rated as "very good". It guarantees a secure, firm connection and a compact crimping point.
Robustness for vehicle construction and industry
With a weight of 550 grams and a length of 248 millimetres, the TOOLOVA® TF Plus is the most robust tool in the test field. According to the testers, the solid construction clearly speaks for the quality and durability of the pliers. The TF Plus also scored particularly well in vehicle construction, where tools are exposed to extreme loads and lubricants, thanks to the absolute insensitivity of the handles - also rated as "very good".
