iCrimp Ratcheting Crimping Tool Set 8 PCS - Quick Exchange Jaw for Heat Shrink, Open Barrel, Insulated and Non-Insulated Ferrules AWG 20-2

This crimp set had been an absolute beast on my hobby desk. I am in 3d printing, electronics, RC cars, home electrical and this little case holds all the crimping action I could ever need. I love the grip, it feels so smoothe in the hand. The one downside is you need to be careful you don't lose your spring on the strippers, it's possible to pop off. The connectors pop off and on super easily but remain solidly in place and don't slide around leading to great ease of use and are very accurate.

Very easy to change tips. Crimped Very well good strong connection. I use it weekly love it.

The iCrimp IWS Quick Change Ratcheting Crimper is a well designed tool that delivers excellent results. I have used non ratchet crimp tools on light gauge wire (# 10 and smaller) for decades. For larger conductor terminations I have used anything from hydraulic crimpers, long handle models and so forth. I have crimped conductors as small as #14 to cable as large as 1000MCM feeder cable for 23KV power systems. I am glad I waited to buy this tool. Not because it was not needed YEARS ago, but because I believe the model I purchased last week and the state of current design technology (for this kind of hand tool) has evolved to a point that cannot be improved upon (and if so, not by much). When you ratchet it down to its point of auto release, you know the proper amount of pressure has been applied to the crimp and conductor. In the past I never was confident that I did NOT over stress the light gauge crimps so the auto release feature is a worthy upgrade. In addition, the 6 different sets of jaws it comes with are designed for specific terminal applications, where in the past I had been using a "one size fits all" hand crimper for ALL small gage wire crimps - and doing so for WAY too long. The first crimp I made with the iCrimp IWS Quick Change Ratcheting Crimper was on a #12 stranded copper wire and a corresponding male, insulted spade terminal. The crimp came perfect. I was so pleased with the results that I began looking around the shop for older terminals that I might replace with upgraded quality of workmanship. I found a few and had fun re-making those crimps. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and I can assure you I will be keeping this tool very handy. It is one of the best things I have purchased in a long time and I highly recommend it.

The case is a little on the cheap side but the tool is great!

I bought this tool to crimp these tiny light bulb terminals in a 1950’s instrument cluster. This did such an incredible job and far exceeded my expectations. The best part is that I could put the terminal in the tool, and it ratchets down so it could hold the terminal in place while I specifically place the wire then crimp. Wish I would have found this sooner!

Used to use manual crimpers but after buying this only reach for this crimped. Using with insulated crimps the ratchet stops at the right time and does not puncture the insulation. Great value for what you get.

Super nice, I've tried almost every type jaw and they work great with the ability to adjust the clamping force

I've always crimped B-1 style motorcycle terminals by hand. I always ensure that there's a mechanical connection as well as the electrical connection but they always looked halfway professional. I always wondered how the factory made it look so perfect and now I can provide the same results for my customers. Very impressed and grateful for such an affordable tool.
