I want to invest in a nice set of crimpers for uninsulated crimp terminals. I want something better than the $9.99 radio shack style. Ratcheting would be nice if it makes a better crimp. Does anyone here have any suggestions? I don't want to spend over $100.
This is the kind I don't want: (IMG:http://www.sunshinesolar.co.uk/ccp51/media/images/product_detail/crimper200.jpg) Sorry I couldn't find a better pic. |

Sorry,
I spoke incorrectly. I have used the Thomas and Betts WT111M for years. The Klein looks a lot like it, but I didn't have access to my tools when I posted the first time. It's great. Wire range is 22-10AWG and it has 2 crimp sizes as well as a cutter.(IMG:http://www.specialized.net/ecommerce/shop/images/272X190_PLI.JPG) |
