haisstronica Crimping Tool for Open Barrel Terminals, AWG 22-10, HS-5327

This crimping tool is great! Very strong and durable, it is very well made! Makes crimping wire terminals a breeze! The ratcheting mechanism allows you to hold the terminal without crimping it while inserting the wire. If you feel like the terminal is crooked, it is easy to push the release lever and open the tool without finishing the crimping so you can readjust it. Makes a sharp and crisp crimping job and has several sizes for versatility. Overall, a good value for the money!

I purchased this in order to crimp barral terminals for a vehicle electrical project. I like the ratcheting to control the crimp and it was easy to match my connectors with the appropriate die. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a solid crimp that will hold in place.

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.

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!

Best crisper I've owned. Crimps like a factory installed

Very nice crimper for open barrel non- insulated fittings! Strong and clean crimps...

Once you figure out how to use these. They work great. My favorite method to crimp terminals now. Tool feels sturdy and the racheting is precise.

flawless

Perfekt, fyller sin funktion väl

Preis-Leistung sehr gut

La pinza è perfetta, sotto ogni punto di vista, molto robusta.Arrivata in tempi record. Consigliatissima

Si funciona mu bien lo queemgusto es que en el troquel tiene grabado el número de cable ha ponchar en cada mueca, lo único que no me pareció es que no venía bien calibrada ya que tuve que ajustarla porque crimpe un cable lo jale y este se salió. Hagan pruenas antes de usarla.

I am totally happy with my new crimpers. It didnt take long at all to get the hang of using them. I turned the dial on the side by two notches to tighten up the compression and its now crimping to the standard that I phyisically cant pull the connector off of the wire. Great value for money too.
