Ratchet Crimping Tool

Worked great.

Great tool

Works perfectly

Handy tool to have. Appears to be shadetree mechanic quality. Not Snap-On quality and not Snap-On price. Take care of it and it will take care of you. A man needs to know his tools limitations.

Price was great. Feel durable in your hands and make a solid crimp. I don't like where the release is between the handle. For someone with large fingers it makes it challenging to open after crimping, but they are very easy to use and feel good in your hands.

Work great good value

If you know how to use the crimpers, they're great. The crimpers are for open ended, non insulated connectors only. Dont try to use them on the closed end or insulated automotive connectors. If you need insulated connectors, thats what shrink tubing is for. The attached photo shows what a proper crimp should look like, in case you're wondering.

Before using the crimper, you should take some needle nose pliers and slightly bend the prongs. If you don't, it won't crimp correctly. The video is deceiving. If you follow these directions, it works perfectly. They should redesign so it's a one crimp function.

Worked great I like the ratcheting feature holds connector well. Re pinned my ecm in my car with no issues

As a weekend warrior, I tend to not make things easy when I do projects. With that said, I bought these and, wow, what a difference it made! I was able to easily do the electrical project on my Harley! Do yourself a favor and grab these! Money well spent.

Decent well built to BUT..... the ratchet system is quite irritating, with the trigger on the wrong side of the handle, and very inconvenient to get at. I ground mine off with a Dremmal tool. Works for me now.

Looked like a factory crimp when I was done. Fitted a plug on my motorcycle and these worked perfect.

I specifically bought these crimpers, to use with a kit of Twippo low-voltage, waterproof connectors, the terminals of which were explicitly stated by the same company to accept gauges of 22-16 AWG. I happen to have spools of AWG 22 braided wire to play with. But, these crimpers are stated to have AWG 20 as their minimum wire gauge. The result was that I got lucky with one terminal, but could not repeat the results, because after the conductive part of the braided wire is crimped, the wire just slips out of the connector quickly and before I get the chance to crimp the insulator. Crimping the insulator with a greater diameter would hold the wire. So, the specifications with which these tools are made are so close, that these crimpers will not be usable on terminals and AWG 22 braided wire (or narrower) inside. Dirk
