Wire Crimping Tool

Because a plier crimper gives you whatever pressure your hand happened to have that day. A ratchet will not release until the crimp is complete, so every terminal gets the same full compression – which is what stops a connection working loose six months later, usually inside a loom.

Insulated and non-insulated terminals, on both solid and flexible conductors – the standard crimp terminals used in automotive and household wiring.

Yes. The ratchet tension can be adjusted, so you can dial the crimp in if a particular terminal wants more or less compression.

Pull it. A correct crimp will not come off the wire, because the terminal has deformed around the strands rather than pinching them. The ratchet takes care of the pressure – all you have to do is seat the terminal squarely in the matching die before you squeeze.

Carbon steel jaws and precision-machined dies. The dies are the part that wears out on a cheap crimper and quietly starts giving you loose terminals – that is where the money in this tool has gone.

Yes – this is a crimper. Strip the wire first, seat the terminal in the matching die, and squeeze until the ratchet lets go.

If you crimp two terminals a year, honestly, probably. If you have ever had a connection fail somewhere in a loom and had to go and find it, this is the tool that stops that happening – and it will outlast several cheap ones.
