Always follow proper safety procedures when using hand tools and ensure proper wire and connector selection for your projects.

I bought a hydraulic crimper that had everything you’d need for ay wire size, and then I found this crimper! This is an ideal crimper for ALL terminals up to 10G - one tool, no set up or jaw changes - this crimper is ideal for insulated and bare terminals. What you get out of this crimper is the SAME as a hydraulic crimper, but for all the smaller wire sizes - no squished terminals, just perfectly shaped connections!

Your crisper is very well crafted and work flawlessly. Thank you!

Great quality but expensive investment for limited use...

Crimper works good.

I love this item, high quality, I have paid a fair price, it is completely new.

Great product made my crimping easy and stronger

This is awesome! I have a manual one and it works great but it is awkward at times. I bought a harbor freight one and it just didn’t have the bite for a secure crimp. This one does. It take a lot of force to get a full crimp. A lot of people say it doesn’t auto release, but that’s because they haven’t squeezed hard enough. Remember that scene where Superman squeezed a lump of coal into a diamond??? No, we’ll you’re too young and probably weak. For those of us that do, it takes about 10% less grip strength to fully compress these one handed. If you can’t do it, I’d recommend just adjusting the crimped one stop down so it should be easier. I tested one stop down and it worked fine and still made a strong crimp, 2 stops down and the crimp could come loose from my limited testing. Also maybe scribe a notch on the adjuster and handle so you can reference where you started, but as mine were shipped, one adjustment down worked fine. I mean I could easily work with these adjusted 100% past the max setting but for normal Humans the stock setting or one down should work fine. I also found they used some sort of kryptonite based lubricant which seemed to flare up my tennis elbow but probably shouldn’t be much of an issue for you mere mortals. Again, great crimpers. I usually use my eye lasers to solder wires, but in certain circumstances these crimpers just work better. And let’s be honest. 99.9% of you reading this probably don’t have eye lasers or if you do, can only solder up to 20 gauge wires with your eye lasers, so just keep that in mind. Again great crimpers! -Clark K
