Very good crimping tool, rubbish connectors
The crimping tool is very good and warrants a 5* rating. The crimps produced are very tight and evenly closed. The quality of the crimp depends upon the accuracy with which the connector is positioned in the jaws - and putting it in the right way up! With 1.5mm2 wires considerable force will be required to complete the crimp and automatically release the ratchet - and ensure that the crimp is fully tightened.Some reports show that the tool produces very distorted and ineffective crimps which may be caused by putting the terminal upside-down into the jaws. Unfortunately the instructions are not clear on this point. The gripper "tangs" of the terminal must be placed pointing downwards into the lower jaw (the jaw with a "pip" in the bottom).Whilst the tool is very good, the supplied connectors are rubbish and should not be used - they rate a 0* rating, if it were possible. they are made of 0.25mm brass whereas the best connectors are 0.4mm. The blade on the male connector is also significantly thinner than with a quality part. Also, tinned connectors are to be preferred, especially when used in hot places such as ovens and heaters. The poor quality connectors is reflected in the ease with which the tool can be closed during crimping. It is best not to use those supplied - and for peace of mind throw them away!The buyer is advised to buy this excellent crimping tool on its own and buy good quality plated connectors separately.

If you're looking to safely connect wires look no further.
This is a great set, at a great price. I needed to connect some wires for an electronics project and the usual block connectors were too big for my requirements. I looked around and decided to try these crimpers.First off they have a decent weight and feel sturdy, so Im hopefull they will last. The slots are clearly marked. The tool locks itself if you part squeeze the handle to just off the maximum and then release.Second the set comes with loads of connectors and better still insulating sleeves which were valuable for my project.The set comes with clear instructions in lots of languages and I simply followed them and the results in the photos speak for themselves.I tested the connection by pulling the wire very hard. It was going no where.The final job looks very neat, professional and more importantly safe.

Crimping tool
I was, a long time ago an electronic engineer and used crimping tools all the time.This looked good from the photo and to be fair it is well built and works well. But. It has a rather wide set of jaws so it is easy to damage the crimp.It takes a bit of practice to use. What I dont like is that it has a ratchet system which wont release until you have gone through the whole squeeze. Which removes human finesse.

Worked like a charm
It worked perfectly first time.I like the feel of how it squeezes so you can tell how much you're closing the handles down.You can see clearly how it works whens in use.The assortment set is great.Very useful tool to keep around even if you're not an electrician. It got me out of a electrical problem with a corroded wire, allowing me to repair like for like.It out performed another clamp system i had as this method is better in my opinion. The grab strength and connection on the wire to ends is high giving peace of mind.I was expecting the covers to be heatshrink but they are not. Its no big deal as they fit snuggly and i have spare anyway.I like it comes in its own carry case with space for the consumable ends.Ill keep using this and recommend it.

Really good crimpers and excellent value for money
I had tried using various crimpers to crimp the pins on Deutsch D6 connectors, and even had to resort to soldering and crimping with my other crimpers without much success. On pulling the wire through my vehicle I pulled one of the pins off. So onto Amazon and found these, next day delivery and I went about trying them out on the Deutsch pins, all I can say is WOW they are terrific lovely tight crimps ! They feel really good and strong in the hand and you can see just how sturdily they are built. They came in a nice box together with a great selection of terminals and sleeves. They are a must have in any budding vehicle electronics tool cabinet. No hesitation in recommending these, you will not be disappointed :-)

Could be better.
It works for the most part. The medium size connectors are too loose, but the small and large seem fine.The rubber sleeves are too loose, especially the ones that go over the female end. They seem like more of an afterthought. You might want to buy better ones.The tool feels sturdy enough, the connectors seem to crimp well, and it comes with a little pouch, and instructions if you need them.

Easy to Use - Does the job - Very good value
Bought this to put some end connectors back on a couple of wires I'd cut off whilst repairing a lawn mower switch. Was extremely easy to use and everything worked perfectly once I'd reconnected everything up. For the price it's extremely good value - comes with plenty of connectors and protective casings and the build quality of the crimping tool is very good. May not be up to the quality a 'professional' would use but for me who it was an ideal set to do what I needed to and having in the garage if I ever need to do something similar again.

Solidly built crimping tool
Purchased with the sole intention of crimping connections on motorcycle wiring. Having purchased a couple of inferior cheaper ones, this tool made the job a breeze. The jaws hold the terminal securely whilst you insert your wire and provide a nice clean crimp. Has a few different settings available depending on the wire gauge you are working with. The ratchet mechanism also ensures you don't overdo it, resulting in a tidy, secure connection. Good build quality gives me the impression that this tool should last a very long time.The quality of the tool, the case and lots of connectors makes this a good deal in my opinion. Wish i'd have picked this up first rather than try to save a couple of quid.
