 Great crimper Apr 14, 2008
By J. Lambert
I had been using these cheap stamped steal crimpers for years and they where ok. I finally decided to try something real this is 100% better. The main thing is that they have a real handel and the crimp is wide so it is much stronger.

Buy now! Nov 18, 2010

The best for the money! You can't beat the price for this tool. If you're going to be using butt connectors for even ONE job, get this tool. It makes the connections solidly, and securely. This is SO much better than trying to crimp with a pair of wire cutters (dikes). I have used mine many times, and always kick myself for not getting one of these sooner.

Better than more expensive brands Jan 28, 2011

I do a LOT of wiring - professionally, and at home - and these are easily the best crimpers I've found. Not only are they built right (cutter outboard of crimpers), but they have 2 crimp jaws AND 2 final crush jaws (something that's not mentioned in the description, and barely visible in the photo). The crush jaws are really the clincher on these UNDERPRICED pliers: once you've crimped the connector to the wire, crushing it makes it ~3x tighter, and less-likely to pull apart, even if you try. With these crimpers, unlike most higher-priced brands, you can actually produce crimps that look like industrial wiring. And they cost ~1/3 of those other brands. The only reason I didn't give them 5* is because they're not made in USA.

Great Crimper Mar 12, 2010
By Steve Schreiber
Someone 'borrowed' my first set of these crimper's and I've been looking all over the stores for it, finally ordered it on Amazon. These give the best crimp I've seen for under $50.

 can't reccomend these... Mar 16, 2012
By Justin Miyasaki
As a car audio/security technician I use crimpers everyday. They are probably used more than a screwdriver. Years ago when I first started and knew nothing about anything, I bought a set of these. Horrible purchase. As someone else stated the jaw is too wide, and the handle is too short to provide good leverage. I have to exert more energy to make a solid crimp than I do with other crimpers.
Do yourself a favor and pick up a set of Kleins, Irwins, or Channel locks. Anything but this. The only thing I can think of worse than these are the cheap multi tool crimper/stripper/cutter tools you find for like $5 at home depot. But those aren't even THAT much worse.
