Non-Insulated Terminal Ratchet Crimping Tool - Heavy Duty

Crimps nicely no nasty marks on the insulation

The crimping tool is really good quality and works well, I am really pleased with the product.

The crimping tool is awkward to use, the fact that it has a double crimp for each spade demands you align the joint between the two areas of folding "ears"correctly, this can be quite difficult to achieve, when the pliers are closed on the components.
Although the manufacture quality is good, it could ideally do with longer handles, as the effort needed to crimp the largest size spade terminal is probablly beyond mere mortals strength capability - I have a "vice like" grip and could only just manage it, with great effort.

I found it still necessary to manually bend the ears of the spades, to ensure they entered the crimp correctly, without mis-shaping them or ruining the crimp, longer run-in channels for each crimp shaped jaw would benefit the crimping action, without damaging the folding ears before they should.

This Heavy Duty size crimping plier is not so readily available, so I was glad to find 12 volt plantet stocked them, for moderate cost.

After several practice attempts and with care, I was able to achieve acceptable results, the likes of which could not be achieved by any other means.

Works well, good construction

Does a really good job

Not to be confused with poor and cheap item on market. This is a good quality one with good casting and proper opérating mecanism at a good price. I have used it on non insulted terminals and I am very satisfied.

excellent product and excellent service

Excellent tool, perhaps a little expensive but works well. Happy to recommend.

Easy to crimp.
Unfortunately they did not fit my ford fuse box

As expected for the price does the job well
