HKS Crimping Tool for Non-Insulated Terminals - Ratcheting Wire Crimpers for Butt, Fork, Ring, OT & UT - AWG 20-8 (0.5-10mm²) - Ratchet Terminal Crimper - Electrical Crimping Tool

Xxx

Good pair of crimpers, got all sorts of crimping done from 12 to 8 awg!

Awesome

This works great for the ferrule sizes it's DESIGNED to work for!Just be sure you pick the correct size. The tool may be labeled incorrectly.I could be wrong, but, 2 gauge wire required a 4 gauge crimp from this tool.BUT, it worked fine.

This tool was used to crimp 16 gauge non-insulated flag terminals. Before buying this tool I wasted so much time and effort trying round, needle nose, and vise grip pliers to get a good crimp but couldn't. My small hands didn't enough strength to crimp or the vise grip pliers would crimp too much. I watched the product video on amazon, a few youtube videos, and practiced on a few terminals before actually using the tool on my project. Place the non-insulated terminal in the tool, make sure it centered underneath the crimp die, barely clamp it to secure it in place, insert the wire, and then crimp. The ratcheting mechanism makes crimping easy, precise, and secure with 1-2 squeezes. I easily increased the crimp amount by adjusting a screw. I used two hands to squeeze the handles because my hands are small but they weren't hard to squeeze. The tool is heavyweight and none of the parts appeared flimsy or precariously attached. Though I hated buying this tool just for this one project, I'm glad I did because I was finished with my project in minutes as opposed to hours and with a whole lot less frustration.

Works great for the price point, it make solid crimps

Seems to work well, and solid build

Work great they do what i needed them to do.
