Haisstronica Crimping Tool for Non-Insulated Open Barrel Terminals Receptacles,AWG 22-10 Ratchet Wire Crimper Tool,Wire Terminal Crimper HS-5327

Makes nice crimps but make sure you set up the tension before using in a project. You can adjust crimp tension with the small dial on the handle. Do a test run and adjust accordingly. Makes professional and secure wire crimps. I ordered the insulated dies as well. Good value for the price. Sturdy and well built to last.

The Haisstronica Crimping Tool for Non-Insulated Open Barrel Terminals has several features that make it a quality tool. This specific model covers 10- through 20-gauge 2.8mm terminals. That size covers many of my applications, e.g., automotive and electronics. The jaws are replaceable, so the basic ratcheting pliers can be configured for different styles of terminals. The jaws are marked in square millimeters and AWG. On the side of the tool is a cogged wheel to adjust the clamping force. It is adjusted by removing a screw, rotating the wheel, and reinstalling the screw – a little inconvenient but it prevents inadvertent changes to the clamping force. The ratchet mechanism has a lever to open the pliers. The pliers will open automatically when the crimp is completed, but should the pliers remain closed, the lever can be tripped to release the jaws. The gap is small for an adult finger, but any sort of probe could be used to operate the release lever. The handles are well-made with good-sized, comfortable grips. Using the crimper is easy – strip the wire insulation back about 1/4 inch, insert the terminal into the crimper (flush on the left side with the tabs facing up) and squeeze enough to hold the terminal in the jaws, insert the wire into the terminal to the required depth, and squeeze the crimper handles until they release and the jaws open. A final inspection of the quality of the crimp is the final step. If the tabs on the terminal are nicely formed over the wire insulation and core, and the terminal passes a rudimentary pull-test, you have a quality terminal crimp. My first two crimps were just fine at the “factory” pressure setting. No need to mess with that adjustment. This is an excellent crimper, especially at the price -point. Good luck with your crimping.

I'll be honest. I am suspicious of Chinese-made tools. Far too often, they are cheaply made, poorly designed and break easily. But I have to give credit where it's due: this is a fantastic product. It is well thought-out, its construction quality is very high, it is smooth in its operation and the results it provides are absolutely top tier. I simply couldn't ask for better and it's at a very reasonable price. Thanks for this!

Im big on soldering all my connections and sometimes without a 3rd hand its hard to get everything perfect but I thought id give these a try. If you get the wires all little ed up and into this it will hold everything in place and then you crimp it down. Its supposed to give a perfect crimp every time but here in reality its more like a lot of the time. Not every crimp comes out perfect but a lot of them do. Then you can solder everything in place for a permanent fit. Its a solid tool and I'm Definitely not worried it will fall apart. I don't use it as much as some people might but I will get a lot of use out of it. It feels solid and doesn't wobble while crimping like some of the cheaper versions ive seen. It definitely earns a spot in the pouch!

Worked as well as or better than expected. Excellent end result. Secure crimps, perfectly inserted into the connectors chosen.

This tool is well crafted and works to its expectation. The purchase was processed quickly and tool arrived a day early.

This is an excellent tool, works just as good as the name brand high dollar products

Es sólida y con buenos acabados

Precies wat ik zocht voor 'n goede prijs. En snel geleverd: top!

I do a lot of hobby electronics / arcade / pinball connector crimping and so far these are an excellent quality Open Barrel Terminal Crimper cover the larger sizes but proving more accurate better quality and easier to use than any of my prior crimpers for electronics and arcade connector work. I like the metal of the jaws and the accuracy is very good comparatively. I hope they make a smaller gauge one as well. I just recently changed my collection of other connector crimpers to Klein, and although they are good, they are harder to squeeze and I would have bought Haisstronica for less to try instead.
