Review on πŸ”§ IWISS Non-Insulated Open Barrel Terminal Crimp Tool - Wire Crimper for Molex, Delphi, AMP/Tyco, Harley, PC/Computer, Automotive - 24-14 AWG by Erik Barela

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Weather Pack is not failsafe

I've built over a MILLION terminals at work and that's no exaggeration. I speak from real experience. The manner in which the Weather Pack terminals are crimped will affect the STRAIGHTNESS of the plug and socket terminals in the assembled plug and socket. And no matter how carefully I tried to use needle nose pliers, the connectors came out BIG, making mating the jack and plug much more difficult if not impossible. BOTH ENDS of the terminal must be bent and crimped AT THE SAME TIME. This tool isn't as expensive as the others, but it's solidly made and works just as well as $70 pliers. Some MOLEX and other crimpers cost $500 and are no more difficult than these crimpers. NASA gavel for five thousand dollars. I use another product, CAIG S-100L (Revain) which is an incredibly durable anti-corrosion coating, then I plug the terminal into a plug or socket. This ensures excellent processing.
