IWISS Ratcheting Crimping Tool Set 8 PCS - Quick Exchange Jaw for Heat Shrink, Non-Insulated, Open Barrel, Insulated and Non-Insulated Ferrules AWG 20-2

The iCrimp IWS Quick Change Ratcheting Crimper is a well designed tool that delivers excellent results.I have used non ratchet crimp tools on light gauge wire (# 10 and smaller) for decades. For larger conductor terminations I have used anything from hydraulic crimpers, long handle models and so forth. I have crimped conductors as small as #14 to cable as large as 1000MCM feeder cable for 23KV power systems.I am glad I waited to buy this tool. Not because it was not needed YEARS ago, but because I believe the model I purchased last week and the state of current design technology (for this kind of hand tool) has evolved to a point that cannot be improved upon (and if so, not by much).When you ratchet it down to its point of auto release, you know the proper amount of pressure has been applied to the crimp and conductor. In the past I never was confident that I did NOT over stress the light gauge crimps so the auto release feature is a worthy upgrade.In addition, the 6 different sets of jaws it comes with are designed for specific terminal applications, where in the past I had been using a "one size fits all" hand crimper for ALL small gage wire crimps - and doing so for WAY too long.The first crimp I made with the iCrimp IWS Quick Change Ratcheting Crimper was on a #12 stranded copper wire and a corresponding male, insulted spade terminal. The crimp came perfect. I was so pleased with the results that I began looking around the shop for older terminals that I might replace with upgraded quality of workmanship. I found a few and had fun re-making those crimps.Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and I can assure you I will be keeping this tool very handy. It is one of the best things I have purchased in a long time and I highly recommend it.

Iam rewiring my old vehicle. Have used this and found it quite sturdy and easy to use.

Estaba escéptico de comprarlo, pero sinceramente no me arrepiento para nada de haberlo comprado, simplemente es lo mejor de lo mejor, calidad al 100%, sin duda alguna lo volvería a comprar!!!!

This crimping tool offers the versatility of several too tools in one. Switching out the numbered jaws is very easy to do. The fitted case unfortunately has the remaining jaws in specific spots and are not always interchangeable with the ones being changed. The picture on the inside shows the purpose of each set of jaws and the numbering makes it foolproof. Crimping uninsulated terminals is a one step operation and the finished product resembles a manufactured crimp.The matching wire stripers are also well made with easy to read wire gauge sizes.Both tools fit nicely into the sturdy case with the only drawback being the fact that all jaws do not fit into all spaces which is the sole reason for the 4 star rating.A good investment for anyone who desires a professional look and feel to terminal ends.

The tool comes in a really nice case with great pictures of what each set of dies does. Works fight out of the box for all three sizes of shrinkable connectors! Tool is easy to use so far as worked as advertised. It took a cou8ple of days to arrive but am really happy I ordered it. Great quality, works well, and stores very neatly. I have added it to my tool box and will use it a lot. Highly recommend!
