Wirefy Crimping Tool For Insulated Electrical Connectors AWG 22-10 - Ratcheting Wire Crimper Tool - Crimping Pliers - Ratchet Terminal Crimper - Wire Crimping Tool

I own a professional style wire stripper tool from the Irwin brand, and it does an excellent job of stripping wire. I've been using the crimper portion of that tool to do said crimps as well. Unfortunately, it doesn't always do a perfect job crimping, and it requires an abnormal amount of force applied, to make the crimp. It was time to step up to a professional style crimper, from the Wirefy brand. Obviously, for this price, this tool is 100% Chinese made. A truly American, German, or Japanese brand industrial ratcheting crimper tool, would cost you hundreds of dollars! If you look at the picture I have uploaded, showing the end of the crimper jaw, you can clearly see QC issues in regards to the metal quality. OK, so I have established that the quality of metal might be sub-par, but how does it perform? The good news is, it performs awesome! This was my first time using this style of crimper, so I was having issues at first, until I learned the best way to do it. My best advice, is to put the terminal connector in the jaw first, then begin crimping down till the metal jaw is just touching the terminal. (Don't crush it yet!) Then put the wire into the terminal, then start crimping the terminal and wire together, and then use both hands to make it easier. Once the crimp is made, the tool releases, and I felt I was left with a quality crimp. On all of the crimping jobs I did using fully insulated terminals, not one of them did the wire pull out! The tool has some heft to it, so it does have a heavy duty feel. The ratcheting mechanism seems to work well, and its not as loud as some other's I've heard, in people's Youtube video's. The handle has a good grip as well, the tool never slipped out of my hands. When the tool is in the closed position with the jaw empty, I can confirm what other's have said, it can be hard to push that little latch, to open the tool. But I still managed to do it anyways, so its not that big of an issue. So far I haven't had any issues with this tool, and I am going to have to recommend it with a solid 5 out of 5 stars!

My initial reaction is that it is hard to believe you get this kind of quality in a crimping tool for the price paid. Fit and finish are great. The tool produces a solid crimp and works flawlessly so far. I have made less than 50 crimps so far, so I can't speak to longevity. I will update this review if this changes. Very satisfied at this time.

Working is easier. You can put the colored connector in the jaws and close, it will hold the connector in place then you have both hands free to hold the wire and crimp one side. Next insert the other wire and crimp the other side. I often put the handle down on the bench top and lean into the top handle. It does take strength to close the crimp. It stays locked until it is closed entirely then it opens easily. It does not open until it closes fully so get it right the first time.

I like this crimper. I did not give five stars because something to do with how it clamps does not quite feel right. But maybe this is just the way it is. So far the crimps have all come out well. So I like it.

Some of the Best Crimper/Cutters I’ve found for the money! Definitely a lot of thought went into the design and manufacturing

Feels and performs just like the expensive ones, seems just as durable. only complaint and this goes for every set of these i've ever used is that i generally have to use the size down to get a reliable crimp. (yellow connector, use blue; blue, use red; red, crimp at an angle)

Bought a used compressor and wired in a new pressure switch and line cord. Used the blue insulated 2connectors for 14g wire and used this crimping tool. Worked like a champ! A solid, heavy duty crimper and a lot cheaper than what they sell for in the Big Box stores!!10

These are great for the job

Muy buenas, me gusta el crimpado.

Pince à sertir super pratique, d'excellente qualité, et avec son "cliquet" qui vous permet de laisser la cosse en place et de vous libérer d'une main, sertissage toujours bien effectué et sans difficulté ! Je recommande sans soucis

Ich habe die Wirefy Crimpzange für verschiedene Elektroarbeiten verwendet und bin wirklich begeistert. Die Zange liegt gut in der Hand, ist sauber verarbeitet und macht einen sehr stabilen Eindruck. Die Crimpverbindungen gelingen zuverlässig und gleichmäßig. Die Kabelschuhe werden sicher verpresst, sodass eine feste und professionelle Verbindung entsteht. Durch die Ratschenfunktion lässt sich die benötigte Kraft gut dosieren und das Arbeiten ist auch bei mehreren Verbindungen angenehm. Besonders positiv finde ich die einfache Handhabung und die hochwertige Verarbeitung. Egal ob für Heimwerker oder regelmäßige Arbeiten an Fahrzeugen und Elektronik – die Zange erfüllt ihren Zweck hervorragend. Für mich eine klare Kaufempfehlung. Sehr gute Qualität, präzise Verarbeitung und ein ausgezeichnetes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

a quality product

Excellent value bit of kit with a good grip and easy to use. Perfect size and produced excellent, strong crimps. I particularly like the auto release mechanism at then end of the crimp process.
