8PCS Rapid Replace Ratchet Crimping Tool Set with Pressure Regulating, Automatic Wire Stripper Heat Shrink, Non-Insulated, Open Barrel, Solar, Ferrule Connectors

I always find myself doing various projects that involve wiring and I've typically used a hodge-podge of the generic tools you would find in a typical toolbox to accomplish wire-stripping and crimping tasks. Upgrading to this 8 piece set is a real game changer. The wire strippers are fast, easy and efficient and even have an adjustable stop so you can set the length of the strip. The crimping tool itself is very cool. The jaws are interchangeable to tackle a variety of wire connector crimping tasks, and they are easy to exchange with the push of a tab. I did notice that a few of the jaw sets are a little tight in the slot of the tool, but it does not affect performance, just the ease at which they insert/remove when changing the style of the crimp you are performing. I feel a little lubrication such as graphite, or just time and usage may ease this minor inconvenience. The adjustable crimping pressure is also a nice feature, in that you can fine-tune the pressure you are applying to your crimp. Great when you might have a wire that is a little larger or smaller gauge for the connector you are crimping on to still get a nice consistent and strong crimp. I've attached a picture of the adjustment mechanism as I couldn't find any documentation on how to actually adjust, but it's fairly straight forward with crimp pressure ranging from 1-3, with 1 being the least pressure (compression), and 3 being the most - also requiring the most effort. Pull the adjuster out and turn it to point the number to the arrow/dot on the tool to set the desired pressure. Wiggle/twist it slightly to get the pins on the bottom of the adjuster knob to set back down into the tool. The wire stripper, crimper, and the interchangeable crimping jaws come in a convenient carry case that holds everything securely in it's place. It might be a little on the expensive side, but the quality of the tools, the practicality of the interchangeable crimp heads, and the convenient carry case makes it well worth it.

This is a great little kit. I love how it's in a box and they work perfectly as a combo. Worth every penny. The crimps are perfect and I found nothing wrong with them so far.

I love this tool. The wire stripper really works much better than I anticipated. It is a little difficult to use if you are trying to strip a small portion of the end of a wire and requires a bit of practice for that. The crimper is really solid and it is super easy to switch out the crimp inserts. It was easy to grip the crimp ends and a couple of squeezes and they are secure. These are more expensive but in my opinion they are worth the money.

The crimping tool works great but the auto wire stripper stopped working after about the 8th time. Can't get the tool to grip the wire at all when trying to use it. Have adjusted the pressure without any luck.

This is an excellent set for a ratchet crimping tool and the wire strippers are a bonus. I thing the price is a bit high but I didn’t see another set like this that I wanted more. I’ve only used the “D” jaws for open barrel terminals so far so I’m not sure if I’ll need all of the other jaw sets but it’s nice to have them just in case. I don’t really understand why there is one blank space in the case for another set of jaws. It makes me want to buy another set of jaws to fill that spot and make the set complete but I don’t see any other jaw sets from this company to even purchase as an add-on. That being said the jaws slide out and lock into the crimper really smooth. It seems well built and it worked perfect for the one wiring project that I needed them for so far. The wire stripper worked great too. It’s nice to have it all in one case for easy transport. The blue/yellow colors remind me of Irwin pliers which has always been good quality for tools I’ve purchased. I’m sure I’ll be using this set for many years to come.

I love this tool set! If you do automobile wiring then you need this tool. Wish something like this was available sooner. Fit and finish are superb. Crimps are OEM quality, it's a great setup for any kind of wire repair/replacement.

I really like the case as it holds all the crimp options, the ratchet and the strippers. None of the pictures showed that the strippers could be stored in the case so this was a nice surprise. The swappable dies are held in via pressure clips. Just push on them an the die is released. No screwdriver or plyers needed to swap dies, so that is very nice. I've done a few crimps with them and so far they have produced nice solid connections. Very happy.

Excellent quality. Value for money. Works well.

The ratcheting mechanism and the quick change for the dies are really nice. These are great all around crimpers. There is quite the learning curve to know which dies to use with what kind of ends but it is nice to have a tool that can do all the common stuff in one package

LOTS going on with each piece. Very functional, versatile and well thought out design. The crimping heads are quick release so they may not have the longest life in a shop or with daily use, but initial use these are great! I love this spreader-style strippers and these have a tension adjuster (that I need to play with still to test and see if it's worthwhile vs the MAC tools variant at a much higher price). Good price, excellent product, perfect for seasoned techs, new apprentices or DIYers with electrical projects at home.

This set includes more jaws than I will ever need, so far I’ve tested it with insulated, heat shrink, and non-insulated crimping jaws, and each ones works fantastic. The adjustable crimp strength is a great feature, and the included automatic wire strippers are very sharp and work flawlessly.
