3005CR Wire Crimper Tool, Ratcheting Insulated Terminal Crimper for 10 to 22 AWG Wire

Klein Tools consistently makes high-quality tools, and the 3005CR Wire Crimper is no exception. I bought this crimper to terminate insulated connectors for my wiring projects, and it has performed flawlessly. The ratcheting mechanism ensures consistent crimps every time, and the tool feels solid and comfortable in hand. I’m very happy with this purchase and would buy again.

solid tool. Yes it's heavier than the cheap ones but very solidly built and does a great job crimping. FYI, some people don't like the grip required to release the ratchet mechanism. Look closely at the photo. It has a release lever and it is adjustable so you can set to where you want it or just flip the lever.

Helps keep the quality of my electrical repairs and installs very professional. With out a doubt I trust all electrical connections made with these. If lost or damaged I would purchase these again with even blinking.

Fantastic crimp, every time. Large handles help you get leverage for easy crimps. May be more difficult for small hands.

Clearly well made - not in the USA - seems Klein Tools joined the many manufacturers going east. The crimper is heavy and a bit awkward to use. Requires very strong and preferably big hands. I don’t have big hands but managed ok for the few crimps I needed done. It does have a “switch” that gets released and ready for the next crimp only when the handles were pressed really hard to finish the crimp. Had I needed to use it all day long or for prolonged periods - it would not have been my choice tool but for occasional usage for someone who appreciates well made tools - i will keep it. I purchased another brand for almost half the cost of this one and it is lighter. It worked fine too - i am keeping both (2 different places).

Great tool, Klein Quality!

Love this tool should have bought one years ago. I have in the last two days spliced over 65 connections on trailers and trucks. I never used one before and there was a small learning curve for me. Crimp the wire and keep going, the ratched will release when you go far enough.

Good gif the price

Great crimper works perfectly.

جوده عاليه وومتازه

Una maravilla klein nunca me decepciona

Ótimo, recomendo… tem muita qualidade!

Chose this tool based on other recommendations on the internet. Wow! Crimps very well, both the wire and its insulation. Crimps tight but still without destroying anything. No comparison with manual crimping by hand, the difference is night and day, and all this for an affordable price for such a good tool.
