Which tool do you have in your toolbox is better? What would you choose-a cheap, low grade tool with a lifetime warranty (to be exchanged for another, cheaper tool) or a high quality one with only a year's Neither is available if you simply look at the tool itself, so I was wondering which you prefer. I just thought I would mention it!
A wire cutter is located right under the jaw and above the wire stripping section of the jaw.

I'm happy with it. A coworker was lending me the snap on version the other day and I was really impressed, but I did not want to spend $62 for it. From 99 to This was partially due to the fact that I have Due to the fact that I do HVAC repair and carry my tools from one house or business to another all day, I try to keep the weight down by only carrying what I use frequently. As a result, this will replace two items I currently carry - It is primarily used with wire strippers and crimpers. Since I don't bother carrying pliers and there isn't a need for a needle nose, I could possibly use this instead of my needle nose as well, but I use my needle nose a lot and carry both Since I read many reviews from dissatisfied purchasers, I'm going to render my opinions about crimpers, strippers, and wirecutters in the hope that it will inspire some to invest in these items and to change their usage habits. First of all, cut the thick wire using a side cutter or a pair of lineman's A wire cutter is typically included in small precision tools, but once you warp the tool or nick the cutting blade, the tool cannot perform its crimping and stripping functions. The second step is to buy a tool that crimps on the front (like this one). The crimping process is so much easier and can be done in tighter quarters when using it. To allow the nose to be trued up, use a file and emery cloth. My precision work requires me to do this with all the pliers (and adjustable wrenches) I use. The tips are pretty much the same size, which I wouldn't have expected. So I won't be filing these so I won't be surprised if the tips differ in length. In one review I read, the thickness of the bolt heads was mentioned. As I mentioned earlier, I don't expect this to bother me, since I will either file the bolt head down or buy a stainless bolt at a hardware It's great that this comes with a bolt, so I can tighten it if it starts to loosen up in the future. The tool I received is very good, and I'm sure many of my colleagues will order their own after seeing.
The tool is good. It was finally possible to find a tool company that makes crimpers/strippers in the right As the stripper is on the handle, where it belongs, and the crimper is at the end, it is closer to the handle where it belongs. There is an issue with the ergonomics of using most strimpers/crimpers combination tools since they have the orientation reversed. There is no doubt that this tool gets the job done. Unlike a stamped piece of heavy sheet metal, this tool is made from heavier grade steel instead.
My recommendation is to use the Channel lock version. The ones I bought a few months ago were in a pinch, and I really regret buying them. Due to my tardiness, I was unable to return them to the store. It is very difficult to crimp with these connectors because the crimps are too sharp and, when squeezed as hard as you want to squeeze them, they cut right through him (like They seem to rip off wires due to their dullness, and the wire strippers are not for any gauge of wire. It is uncomfortable to hold the handle. DONT BUY! That's all you need to know.
When I used to strip wires for electrical tasks, I used an automatic wire stripper with jaws at the top that grip the wire and pulled it off the spool. It was nice at first, but after a while I began to wonder why I was the only person using these kinds of tools. To start off with, they only worked on brand new wire, so any wire that was dirty or had residue on it would just slip through. In addition, when you're crimping the wires that is where the handles are, it is extremely annoying to have to go over the wire with the tool, especially when you're crimping a device with an uncrimped butt connector. It's also clear that the crimps are shoddy since they operate at zero leverage. **This is a very good tool I bought and I like it very much. It's a luxury that I have missed when dealing with dirty wiring, to be able to manually strip the wires. It is because of the amount of leverage you get that the crimping part is so close to the pivot that it is very strong.
Considering they measure 8". I doubt they can crimp nearly as hard as the most Tools with a 5" diameter. You don't need to look any further if you want a tool just like that Klein but at 3/4 scale. Apart from that, I would say they are pretty bulletproof, and they are a huge improvement over the conventional wobbly sheetmetal stripper and crimper that we find in most tool boxes at home. I bought them for the job I wanted to be done, and they did that.
To be honest, it reminds me of my Klein wire strippers, except that it doesn't have a It isn't bad because the grip is dipped, it is just that it is The rest of it is the same kind of cut sheet/plate and feels very similar. As there is definitely a size difference and the tip is to grip rather than cut, it is a good companion to my larger Klein crimper. There is also quality, but who is counting (this goes for the comparison of Klein strippers and Klein crimpers, too, as the crimper feels like pliers of better quality, whereas the strippers are like these)? The unit is also held together by a nut and bolt, but so far I haven't encountered any issues (if it does ever have an issue, I will be sure )
For the price, it is a solid little gadget.
As a result of its size, it is able to fit into tight spaces, and it is well constructed. Despite the size and design, you will usually tire your hands very quickly because of its size and grip. It comes from someone who is knowledgeable about the subject. Crimping is one of my favorite things to do. In other words, every aspect of it functions as expected. I would not call it a junk tool at all.
Do not purchase this tool if you need to crimp anything larger than 12ga. I found it to be absolutely amazing for everything else. The design is perfect. Originally, Knipex sold this product. This is a copy of what they used to make. Aircraft audio, car audio, and wiring were great applications for it. Small spaces are no problem for it. With the stripper below the hinge for ease of use, and the crimper at the end, you have just enough leverage so that you get a perfect crimp every time. Practice crimps on spare wire before you use it on your project.
