Overview
At $12.99, the Ferrule HSC86-4+1250 is the least expensive tool in this batch, and unlike most of the others here it publishes an actual capacity spec: 0.25 to 10 mm2. That range covers most common ferrule end-sleeve sizes used in residential and light industrial panel work.
The polypropylene handle brings total weight to 1.32 pounds. At 900 units sold a month and 1,200 reviews averaging 4.6 stars, demand and owner approval are both strong for a tool at this price.
Beyond handle material, weight, and the crimping range, no other specs are published. For buyers whose wire falls within the 0.25 to 10 mm2 range, this listing gives more concrete data to work from than several of the pricier tools in this batch.

Performance notes
The documented 0.25 to 10 mm2 range makes the HSC86-4+1250 directly comparable on paper to other ferrule crimpers, which is notable in a batch where most listings publish no capacity data at all. At 1.32 pounds the polypropylene-handled tool has enough weight to help drive a clean crimp without excess force.
