Park Tool's EP-1 End Cap Crimping Pliers are specially designed to firmly attach end caps to brake, derailleur, and dropper post cables. Its short tapered jaws with two crimping positions are perfect for crimping in hard - to - reach spots. Crafted from forged and machined steel, these pliers come with vinyl - dipped handles for a comfortable grip.
Using these pliers is easy. First, pick the right end cap for your brake, derailleur, or dropper post cable. Place the end cap on the cable. Then, position the cable and end cap between the jaws of the pliers at the appropriate crimping position. Squeeze the handles firmly to make a secure crimp. When using, be careful not to apply too much force as it may damage the cable or end cap. For maintenance, keep the pliers clean after each use. Wipe them with a dry cloth to remove dirt and debris. You can also apply a little lubricant to the moving parts every few uses to keep them working smoothly.
