Open Barrel Crimping Tool, Professional 22-10 AWG Terminal Harness Crimp Plier Wiring Crimper Crimping Tool

Product Information

So far, this tool has been working properly, and I haven’t encountered any problems so far. What I don’t like: It is also worth noting that this open barrel crimper does not have a ratcheting action. This means it will not hold the connector in the jaws without you squeezing the handles constantly. There is nothing significant to highlight, except that the instructions are not clear. Also, the weight of the tool can be quite overwhelming if you are using the tool continuously for a long time. But I guess that is the trade-off for the quality and sturdiness you get. Conclusion

Due to the large number of different plug connections, crimping pliers in many different versions are required. As a rule, these pliers are operated with one hand - but there are also models for particularly large conductor cross-sections that facilitate two-hand operation thanks to their favorable design. It is really easy to use the tool. Once you get the hang of placing the terminals on the jaws, the crimping process is super fast and easy. You can use it to crimp heat shrink, insulated nylon, non-insulated, ferrule, flag, and open barrel terminals. Key Features I usually use an automatic wire stripper to peel the wires, as it makes the work much easier for me. I strip off about 0.5″, insert a plastic sleeve, and crimp the connector in place before pulling the sleeve over the terminal.

The crimper is factory-adjusted to apply sufficient clamping pressure to the jaws right of the box. However, if it tightens too much or not enough, you can adjust it using the adjusting screw on the left side of the tool. Remember I once said that you will often be judged on the tools you carry. And most of the time, the brand of tools you bring to a job can impact the level of confidence others have in you. Either build it up or tear it down. I particularly like the ratcheting mechanism on these crimping pliers. It is nice and smooth and offers optimum force transmission to the jaws for fatigue-reduced operation.

Versatility is also demonstrated by models that, in addition to crimping, are also suitable for stripping and cutting cables. To maintain a good function and long life: Axles and other movable parts should be regularly lubricatedThe Preciva SN-48B crimper set is my favorite tool for crimping open barrel terminals. After trying a few crimpers, I settled on this model for Faston terminals I was using for a car wiring project and this kit stands out. Key Features

Lubrication* is recommended at least every 10,000 cycles whenever tool is exposed to dirt or other contaminants One thing you should know about these crimping pliers from iWiss is that they have narrow dies. So you must crimp a connector twice. You crimp the exposed wire first and then adjust the tool to crimp the teeth onto the insulated part of the wire.

The crimping range is AWG 22-16, equivalent to 0.5-1.5mm². The tool is neither light nor too heavy. It weighs just like my other Preciva crimper for insulated terminals (above 1 lb though). It comes with everything you need for your first task. The kit contains the crimper, along with 300 open barrel terminals of different diameters (2.8 mm, 4.8 mm, and 6.3 mm), which are suitable for cable diameters between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm.
