Crimping Tool for Open Barrel Terminals, AWG 22-10, HS-5327 | Ratchet, Marked Cavities, Pressure Adjustment, Quick Release, Comfortable Grip, Home and Workshop Wiring

Makes nice crimps but make sure you set up the tension before using in a project. You can adjust crimp tension with the small dial on the handle. Do a test run and adjust accordingly. Makes professional and secure wire crimps. I ordered the insulated dies as well. Good value for the price. Sturdy and well built to last.

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!

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.

I was happy with this tool. I purchased it to attach mini-molex pins onto wires and it works well. Value for money seems good.

Good tool
