iCrimp Non Insulated Open Barrel Terminal Crimp Tool - Wire Crimper for Molex, Delphi, AMP/Tyco, Harley, PC/Computer, Automotive 24-14 AWG

I bought this tool, cuz I love tools and adding to my collection, but I love tools even more when they make my work look more professional and do the job right. In the past I have always gone the cheap and unprofessional route, but it doesn't take that much effort to do it right with the correct tools. It's actually better and less time consuming if you do it right the first time. In the past my wire connections always came apart and caused me electrical problems on my vintage cars, but this tool does it the correct way intended by the original manufacturer. I also used this tool to install a stereo on my new car. The only two draw backs are the locking mechanism, which doesn't really matter because you can store in the open position, but it is a little tricky to figure out how it works.The other drawback is the design because you have to flip the pliers over to crimp different size sections of the crimp, but once you figure that out, its not too bad. The better more expensive design is the pliers that crimp both sections of the crimp at once, but once again if you wanna save time you gotta spend more money on a more advanced tool, but if you are a diy'er like me and only use this tool once or twice a year, than it's perfect for the job. I did a youtube video of me using this tool to install a stereo and some connections on my vw bus, check it out at sandiegovdublife.

I purchased another brand of noninsolated crimp tool first. It made terrible crimps. It was hard to use and made a lot of wasted bad crimps. This iwiss brand is an amazon choice. I can see why others also like it. It is a great tool. It is a non-ratching tool, but works great. It is easy to use. I place very accurate controlled crimp on most any non-insolated type of connector every time. The reason is the way the jaws engage and connector prongs. It uses a parrallel crimping movement. Not like normal pliers that distrubes the wire andconnector before the wire is crimped. this tool makes perfect crimps every time. No waste.

For the price I wasn't expecting much. But it turned out to be one of my favorite crimpers. It worked really great at first. Good quality crimps that held up nicely.But after some use, and applying force on it, it no longer closes 100% when squeezed. It still seems to work this way, but I don't know for how long.

Works well and durable

This is a reasonably priced crimper for open barrel terminals. It produces the results you would expect from the factory if the correct sizes are used. I got pretty nice results so far. Great crimper.

GREAT PRODUCT ON TIME DELIVERY

A must have tool if building or repairing wiring that has this style of terminated ends. The tool is great value and built well. The ease of use is good once you get the hang of how it operates and the type of crimp that you will be doing. So far it has survived over 250 crimps and by its construction I feel that it will be a tool that will be with me for years to come.

Best all around versatile pliers have ever owned
