Make sure you are using the right crimp tool and gauge ferrules. Also get 8mm long ones.

We used ferrules on almost all of our weidmuller connections and found that the crimps eventually work their way out after heavy competition. We are using the correct tool (ratcheting style) and gauge for our wires but getting consistent crimps never seemed possible. We are considering moving to mostly solidcore wire to avoid troubles in the future.

If you have gotten consistent crimps that hold up to this year's game, do you think that our crimping tool might be bad? I'm not sure where the failure is, but right now we aren't able to rely on ferrules.
