AMZCNC 10 Tons Hydraulic Wire Battery Cable Lug Terminal Crimper Crimping Tool With 9 Pairs of Dies,1/8” Wire Rope Crimping Tool

I used use hand crimpers but was getting a lot of bad crimps. After getting this unit, every crimp has been perfect. Selecting the correct crimp inserts takes a little trial and error but I got it right pretty fast. It does seem to be heavy duty and well made. I have a small solar system and I don't make a huge amount of crimps so I cannot speak to long term reliability. But so far, it seems well worth the money

This was needed as the builders, as usual, did a total "bare minimum" job installing our deck railing. I've never had to do this before but it's super easy. You WILL need a tool like this to securely fasten the wire to the hardware. If you have this kind of deck railing, having this tool on hand will save you a ton of time and money. I promise you (professional handy-men, go ahead and stop reading now), you do NOT need to pay someone to repair a wire that has come loose. If you can use a tape measure and have any strength to squeeze a grip, this tool will allow you to repair (and even install from the beginning) a wire railing system. Seems very well built and should outlast me. Very pleased with the purchase.

If I was a professional electrician doing this for a living I would not recommend these. With that said for somebody who makes a few crimps a year or is doing a large solar system you can't go wrong. Plenty of YouTube videos on these if you'd like to see them in action. I personally depend very heavily on reviews that are posted on Amazon, as do many other consumers. I not only read what reviewers say, but look to see what their pictures reveal about a products true quality and description. I aim to not only feature the products I review in many different aspects, analyzing many qualities, I also provide my own opinions on ALL the good AND bad experiences I have with the product I review. I take time to learn and use a product as it was intended before I review it, and I have used this specific product thoroughly. My rating system: 5 - Met all my expectations. Was described and pictured perfectly. Exactly what I wanted and needed. Extremely useful product and a great value. Would recommend to family and friends. 4 - Very good product. Exactly as described. May have a minor flaw, mentioned in the review, that does not detract from the products perceived value. Would recommend to family and friends. 3 - Average product. Not exactly as described, or misleading advertising or product pictures. Possibly substandard build quality, or something else explained in the review. Would mention as an option to family and friends, but not recommend. 2 - Wouldn't recommend this product. Poor build quality, not close to being as described. Flimsy and fragile. Difficult to use due to product flaws. 1 - Do not purchase whatsoever. Usually only given if product lasts only a few hours/days/etc. I do not leave 1 star reviews without contacting the seller. I will be returning the product. I did NOT receive ANY discount for this product. I simply enjoy reviewing every one of my purchases.

Very very nice! Easy to use, especially in tight spaces. multiple easy to swap pieces for different sizes. Even in tight Dodge underhood areas. Where has this been all my life!

Must have for trapping. Work nice crimping all my lines together. Perfect size tool and easy to do one handed

Nice tool to have

It works great, but ive found it works best if you use the next size up die for the wire size, its probably related to the thickness of the connector used.

I bought this to crimp gym equipment cables. I am making custom length cables 3/16 or 5mm diameter which includes the plastic jacketing. I opened it up looked at the dies and by eye chose the ones that are marked for 4 guage wire. Lined up the crimp ferrule with the end of the die loop side of cable. I pumped till i started to feel the tension increase then slid the ferrule to the other end repeated and the pumping procedure. The photo is the result of my first attempt, it is quite satisfactory to me. This cable was a piece of excess , I expected to cut the end off and throw away my first attempt but I will use it at some point for something as it came out good. See my other reviews if you want to know what ferrules and loops I used. $39.05 I paid for this tool and I should get my moneys worth out of it in no time. I may try it on wire in the future too. I think people who break it in half might be pumping too hard, it says it can generate 10 tons ( although the cylinder on this is smaller than a 10 ton car jack and I question that claim) I dont see the need to pump the dies against each other or smash what you are working on. Its crimping not crushing.
