EP-1 End Cap Crimping Pliers

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“These pliers are the finishing touch every mechanic needs—strong, compact, and precise. Perfect crimps, no fraying, no fuss.”

The Park Tool EP-1 End Cap Crimping Pliers bring workshop precision to cable management, ensuring every build is finished with a clean, secure crimp. Designed specifically for brake, derailleur, and dropper cables, their short, tapered jaws make it easy to reach tight or recessed spots that standard pliers can’t access.

Constructed from forged and machined steel, the EP-1 offers unmatched durability and strength, while dual crimping positions provide flexibility for different cable sizes and materials. The vinyl-dipped handles enhance grip and comfort, allowing precise control during repetitive tasks.

Whether you’re finalizing a pro race build or maintaining your home setup, the EP-1 delivers consistent, reliable crimps that prevent fraying and ensure long-term cable integrity—because every great ride starts with a flawless finish.
