Review wire crimpers Just received my open barrel crimpers. I was hesitant about ordering these because they were not a ratcheting type. For the price, I was afraid they would have a poor construction quality. So far, I’m impressed. The handles appear to be physically attached and not just slipped over the handles so they don’t just slip off. The handles also have a nice feel and finish. They appear to be a harder plastic but have just a little give which should keep your wrist from getting sore after multiple crimps. Tho the tool does not have a ratcheting action it also is not just a single pivot action like some crimpers. It actually has three pivot points which causes the claws to close evenly as opposed to a single pivot where it would close on an angle. There is a locking latch for securing the tool in the closed position. Typically these latches are the worse things ever. I have thrown out more crimpers because a poorly designed latch that constantly activates and locks the tool making you fight it almost every crimp. At first, when I saw how lose the locking latch pivoted I was disappointed. However, after using it, I’m kinda impressed. Whether by design or by accident, the locking lever is loose enough that when the tool is locked you can easily unlock it automatically by lightly squeezing the handle a couple of times and the latch will slide up past the catch and unlock. That makes unlocking very easy without having to physically manipulate the latch. Ultimately time is going to tell what the quality of the tool really is. I would have given it 5 stars but I will reserve that last star due to a concern over the spring that pulls the tool into the open position. It looks like that spring is going to be the weakest link. It looks like it’s too small and just barely does the job of opening the tool. I can easily see how the spring is going to either break or stretch and no longer function properly. The spring does not seem to be easily repairable but should be possible because the tool is not riveted together rather it has locking nuts on the main pivot pins making it possible to potentially disassemble and repair. Overall, I’m pleased with the quality and the cost. Came packed well enough and the tool was ready to use right out of the package. Read more

I had to look up the correct way to use this crimper. It would have been nice for there to be some instructions with it. But after finding out how to properly use it, it works well. Read more

I've been using these electrical crimp pliers regularly for wiring projects, and I have to say, they’re an essential tool for anyone working with connectors. A good pair makes all the difference between a solid, professional connection and a frustrating, unreliable one. Build Quality: The pliers I use have a sturdy, all-metal construction with ergonomic, rubberized grips. They feel solid in the hand and provide enough leverage to crimp firmly without much effort. The ratcheting mechanism ensures consistent pressure, which helps avoid over- or under-crimping. Performance: They handle a variety of connector sizes, especially insulated terminals, non-insulated connectors, and sometimes even ferrules. The color-coded dies or indicators are very helpful for matching the correct wire gauge. Crimps come out tight and secure every time, with minimal deformation of the connector. Ease of Use: After a little practice, the process is quick and intuitive. Insert the terminal and wire, squeeze until the ratchet releases, and you’re done. The tool locks in place until the crimp is complete, which helps prevent half-done crimps. Downsides: Some cheaper models may have misaligned jaws or inconsistent ratcheting, so it's worth investing a bit more for a reliable brand. Also, while versatile, one crimper may not cover every type of terminal—so a multi-tool or interchangeable die set can be useful if you're working with a variety of connectors. Overall: Electrical crimp pliers are a must-have for clean, strong, and professional wire terminations. A good-quality pair saves time, prevents electrical issues, and makes your work look top-notch. Highly recommended for DIYers, auto techs, and electricians alike. Read more

These crimpers arrived today and I went out and did some test crimps. I meant to use these on bare regular crimp terminals as well as Molex Style DELPHI AMP TYCO Terminals. It does the bare regular crimp terminals reasonably well but you have to get used to it and how it works. With bare regular crimp terminals they have a split and that split needs to be dealt with properly if you are going to get a very tight crimp. The crimp section that is meant to fold the open Molex Style properly also does the same thing to the regular crimp terminals if you take the time and position the split the proper way. I wondered if this would work out, and it does. I have to use all the slots on this crimper except the smallest one but it works. The bare terminals I'm doing are smaller awg 18 - 22 size. The terminals are ELECALL IT-420 420pcs 18 in 1 Crimp Terminals bought here on amazon. I also have some Molex Style terminals that are from a relay panel that holds 5 Bosch 24v relays that plug in from the top. The Molex Style terminals slip in from the bottom and are held via small tabs that are bent out. This crimper worked on those but did have some problems with the wings on the open style terminal. I had to work it slowly until I could get those wings to behave and bend over in the center. Same thing for the outer part that grips the insulation, it worked but took some technique before it was properly crimped. I am going to finish these off with Eventronic 3:1 Heat Shrink Tubing bought here on amazon, the type with glue inside so it seals and once cooled holds very well. I do not know what type of terminals this crimper would "just work" on as in, grab, crimp, done. It does what I hoped it would do, crimp regular bare terminals, but with some careful "technique" applied. The wiring job I bought all this for is a 2006 Enco 14x40 industrial lathe. I am rewiring the entire thing from 3ph to use a VFD drive. The on, start, stop, forward and reverse, E-Stop and safety interlocks are all going to work as it did before I removed the entire electrical panel with old relays and transformer and replaced it all with the VFD drive and 5 Bosch 24v relays. This is the type of job that will be done once and has to be done in such a way so it will be reliable and last, perhaps longer then me. ~ Read more

I have an IWISS ratcheting crimper which I mostly use. Very handy as they crimp both the wire and shielding at the same time. However, I needed another pair for a different size so I got these manual ones. They're a bit harder to use than the ratcheting pair but still produce a great crimp. Read more
