Crimping Tool Set

Bought: Haisstronica 6PCS Crimping Tool Set Ok, Like many of you I have been using those cheap thin metal striper/crimpers that come in every electrical "kit" you ever buy. You can also buy those in stores and are fairly inexpensive, sometimes downright cheap. And to use them to crimp anything means hurting your hand from the pressure and that crappy thin metal. On to this tool and set: I paid $54.99 for this item and at time of review some 10 months later it is $49.99. That seems excessive or expensive however you know the old saying, you get what you pay for. Here you get so much more. It this set you get the crimping tool and 6 sets of dies. It says 6ps because die A is installed on the tool during arrival. The case it comes in is fairly cheap plastic but is more than enough for what you need. However I think the snaps that close it are poor. They are the standard molded on snaps that come with most things that wear over time and break and since they are molded on you cannot replace them. That's really the only con to this set. I opted for this set and not the one that comes with a screw driver because who doesn't already have a screwdriver in their tool kit? Anyways, the Tool feels great in the hand is VERY confrontable. The handle is molded plastic with rubber grips. Crimping pressure (how far down it crimps) is adjustable. The crimper uses a ratchet method so you don't accidently slip. This also lets you increase hand pressure a little at a time which is wonderful. When you hit the full crimp pressure the tool automatically unlocks releasing pressure. If in the event you cannot get full pressure to release there is a bar latch in-between the handles you can use to release the ratchet tension. The dies that it comes with are very wide for an even and professional crimp every time. Those cheap crimpers you get other places only crimp in a tiny spot which means sometimes you have to crimp then connector twice or more! Not with this tool, once and done! Changing dies is extremely easy. Just use a Philipps head screwdriver to remove two screws, one on the top die and one on the bottom. then change dies and replace screws. in the event you lose a screw, this set comes with two EXTRA screws! How awesome is that? This set also comes with almost every die you will need. I mostly use Insulated connecters so I mainly use die A but sometimes use others. I thought I'd never use the Solar connector Die but just recently actually used it and it worked wonderfully! Incase you forget what die is used for what, this little kit comes with a card with pictures of every die and the types of connecters each die is used for and wire sizes. that is EXTREAMLY helpful. The dies are each labeled A,B,C, ext. Also the case which holds the dies is also labeled in each slot for A,B,C, ext. So there is no confusing where each die goes or what they are used for. In conclusion, this set is well worth the money paid for it and is extremely helpful and comfortable to use. Not only that but it gives a good solid professional crimp every time. I have used this set hundreds of times. I have also installed 2 stereos in 2 different cars using this set and it was such a great tool to use. It not only made the job easier but it also made the job more solid and reliable. So please do yourself a favor and get this set, you will not regret it!

I bought this for some re wiring in the bilge of my boat which is hard to get to and it worked great, I wish I would have bought this sooner, seems to be well built and worth the price, with the included terminals I should be set for any wiring project

Great tool for the shop. Interchangeable dies work well for heat shrink insulated connectors (which I have come to love), standard insulated, uninsulated, and for pinning modular plugs. Works well and the case keeps the different dies organized.

Does a great job crimping and seems well made, I have wanted one for a while to use for car audio, The jaws switch out very easy and have a sturdy grip. There are two reasons I gave 4 stars, 1- sometimes the jaws get stuck if you close them 3/4 to hold the splice and insert the wire, you have to release and do a full pull. They may just need adjustment. 2- You have to reference the included paper to know what jaws to use, it would be nice if the case or jaw was labeled.

If you have to buy one, this is the one to get. Makes the best crimps and Iʻve tried the other brands.

This crimping tool made my wire crimping look like a pro! It is so beneficial to have all the various crimping dies, and they install easily and securely. This set was a great buy for me!

I've used a few sets of dies and multiple crimps on these since purchase. They provide consistent results that are above my expectations for a non-brand name. The included case seems to be decent. If there was any thought of failure, it would be the clips that secure the case lid. If I can change anything about these, it would be a larger case with better latches that allowed for expansion and more dies to be added. Although this affects absolutely nothing of my current needs, it's just nice to have a little bit of expansion room for additional parts and crimps.

I use this set all the time. It produces very professional crimps for an incredible price. I got the whole set for the price of one Paladin die!

Premiers tests très concluants sur les cosses isolées. Mâchoires "B" Dommage qu'il est necessaire d'utiliser un tournevis pour le changement des mâchoires. Mais ces modèles sont plus chers.

Buon prodotto ma non adatto al lavoro, per uso privato ok

Die Crimpzange macht einen stabilen und wertigen Eindruck. Ich habe bisher erst 10mm2 unisolierte Kabelschuhe damit gekrimpt, kann also zu den anderen (auswechselbaren) Backen noch nichts sagen. Das hat jedenfalls einwandfrei funktioniert.

I bought this crimping set at the same time as buying a Ferrule crimping kit, as I needed to rewire my trailer. I did weigh up buying everything I needed for the rewire against paying for it to be done at tow bar fitting centre, and whilst there probably wasn't too much in it, decided that should I have any future lighting problems, at least I'd have an understanding of how it all worked and could solve any problems without taking the trailer back. The Ferrule crimper did a fantastic job of connecting the 7 pin socket and connecting all the wires to a terminal box, but the lights all required Female connectors, and the reason why I bought Haisstronica. I had intended to buy the tool as standard for use with insulated crimps but at the last minute I opted for the 6 piece kit, just in case, and I'm glad I did, as the lights required non insulated female crimps. I've since used the crimper on another project with insulated crimps, so I'm happy the 6 piece kit was the right choice. I will say that with all the non insulated crimps, I had to use thin nose pliers to bend all the sides of the crimps in for the crimper to work correctly, but I'm going to say this was down to the crimp and not the tool. Perhaps I need to buy some decent quality crimps to confirm this, but for now, I won't change the 5 star rating. The tool is well made and presented in a nice case, the only negative I have is, I'd love to know what they used to tighten the screws up that hold the jaws in place. The screws were so tight I sprayed them with WD40 and still broke the head of my screwdriver! Perhaps it was just it's time to give up after 15 years of use! Someone with small hands may struggle a bit to get to grips with this tool and you do have to give it a proper squeeze to make the sure the crimps are secure, but the results are perfect.

Works fantastic. I work in marine electrical and this has been a time saver. Crimps with the right force for a secure connection and delicately enough not to tear the heat shrink outer sheath of the crimps. I’d recommend it.
