10 in. Crimping Pliers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found these crimping pliers to be quite comfortable. Most importantly to me as I have been in the trades for over 20 years, the ease of use or crimping force required was quite effortless in comparison to others which has helped with my arthritis. Something else that stood out was the machining tolerances. More specifically the lack of slop I call it which seems to be engineered into the design where it has been mated together from a press. No slop yet, the opening and closing is effortless. I’m sure people reading this know what I mean when a set of pliers are loose or the tolerances are so tight they are challenging to open. 2 thumbs up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these because I couldn't locate my trusty crimps I have had for years and I saw these and was curious if this jaw design, which I had never seen anything quite like would function as well or better. They are slim and fit well in my pouch, which I love. Trying them out, I immediately noticed how much more power they had than my others. I expect a slight increase due to the slightly longer grips, but i nearly crushed the connection in two. Thanks to the design though, it stopped itself perfectly at what I can honestly say is the tightest crimped connection I've ever had without splitting the insulation. First try.. the design worked beautifully with little effort. After several normal function tests I decided to move on to my torture test. I gradually moved from electrical crimps to steel wire crimps. Then barbed wire splices. My hands, which would normally be ready to throw in the towel, were even more impressively feeling great. Next I wanted to try the cutting jaw, which is normally where I find crimps lacking. These seemed to cut even up to 9 Guage wire with little difficulty. I decided that was plenty for this test and threw them in my pouch and into my starting lineup. Very impressed. No negative critique... we're all i could have asked for.

The tip shattered cutting wire flush with the wall.

Picked this up for a very reasonable price thinking I would just use it as a disposable tool. It has become my go to crimper and cutter saving me the trouble of having to bring two separate tools on a job. Excellent value for money,will be buying another pair.

For the price this crimper feels really nice on the hand, the crimper tip is at the end which makes it extra nice unlike some others that are at other end making it difficult to crimp tight spaces. Very sturdy well worth the money, I give it a 5 star because I have not used it enough to see how it is holding up.

These are ok for a few uses, but I would not recommend for a professional. The color scheme and price are why I purchased them, but they did not stay sharp long and I will not be repurchasing them. I used them for stripping and crimping in a car audio shop and they are good, but not great.

If you intend to crimp insulated connectors buy another crimper this one cuts into the insulation. Most of the reviews for this crimper are sponsored reviews people are less likely to give a bad score.
