knoweasyMolex Crimper and Delphi Crimper Compatible with Deutsch DT Series Stamped or Formed Contact,Molex, Delphi, Amp, Tyco, Harley, PC, Automotive - AWG 24-14 Wire Crimper 1424A

Ever since I left industry and my company tool box I have been struggling with cheap substitutes. No more!

Very good at crimping. Performs as advertised & as needed. Good price & quick delivery.

I had about 60 or 70 new pins I needed to crimp on to repair some molex connectors on my 1971 Bally pinball machine. This tool worked well and the machine is working after being down for several years

Can't believe how much easier these made my gaming PC build! Let me swap out multiple RGB plugs to much smaller 3-4 pin plugs. 100x better than fighting with typical needle-nose, cheap crimpers, and table vise, should have purchased these from the beginning.

Havent used it yet. Feels good in my hands. Hope it is made good

I am pleased with the quality and strength of this crimper. It works well.

I bought 2-pin molex connectors 18-24 AWG from Amazon (ASIN B074M1RZHX). The metal on this tool is too wide for these pins. When you try to crimp the wire, part of the insulation tabs are caught and crushed messing up the crimp. The distance between the insulation tab and the stop tabs (which must not be crushed) is .151”. The tool metal is .16” so it does not fit. Real molex pins may have a wider gap for the bare wire part. (Check Mouser or Digi-Key). As mentioned in one of the YouTube videos on how to use the tool the metal of the tool must be ground down on a bench grinder or milled on a milling machine by a machinist. I ground mine to .14” to give me .01” clearance, placement is tricky. I might grind some more. I was able to make 2 connections after working for a half hour and going through 4 tries. This is the learning curve. Buy extra pins and sockets. Practice on scrap wire. Look at several YouTube videos to pick up valuable tips. You need good eyesight as the parts are small. Jewelers head magnifiers and bright light are a good help. Keep the pins oriented correctly, not rotated, in the jaws.

The tool it self works great and with the various die / crimp sizes it does the job for the price. You need to keep an eye on how you have the terminal in the proper crimp jaw before crimping, it is very close between the wire crimp portion and the insulation crimp portion. I had no problems with the connectors I used. I used it to make a control cable between a HF tuner and a HF radio. Like some reviews said you have to have the connector oriented correctly before crimping. If the crimp doesn't seem tight enough you can go to the next size smaller and try crimping for a better crimp too. All in all they seem to work pretty good for the average day person to use, not sure for a contractor business.
