Now that you have some good racheting tools and dies, the next think you need to be thoughtful of is the connector itself. The stuff you get at the auto parts store all seem to fail. I go as far as pulling of the plastic sheath, crimp the terminal so I can visually see a good connection and slide back on the sheath.
There are also types of connectors that not only crimp the exposed wire, but they have an extra tang to crimp onto the sheathing - which is more like an OEM type of connection from what I have seen. McMark posted a long time ago where he gets his terminals and they look to be excellent. |

McMark posted a long time ago where he gets his terminals and they look to be excellent. For the previous postings that referenced the need for strain relief, the OEM connectors have built in strain relief as mentioned above. Esentially the lightly rolled end tabs capture the insulation and use that as a means to keep strain off the actual electrical connection. These are the types of crimp connectors that should be used as noted by previous post.  |

I will also point out that the crimpers the OP posted a picture of are the same ones I use and they are designed to crimp the bare wire and sheath crimps of the OEM style terminals simultaneously using a stepped crimping die.

I followed your lead @bbrock , very nice to use and way-way-WAY better than how I had been doing it. I am likely going to go back and re-do quite a few connections now. |
