Review on πŸ”§ IWISS SN-28B Crimping Tool: Effortless AWG28-18 Dupont Pin Crimping Solution by Emmanuel Nguyen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Must have a small crimping tool for electronics connectors

I have the SN-2549 model (and HSC8 6-6 crimp shackles). There is a video guide above, which must be watched at maximum volume (!), as well as videos on "YouTube". I would look at them before using them for the first time. All of these crimping pliers have two insulation and conductor crimping depths (*MAGIC*) at the same time. The IWISS site isn't that good, but their CrimpingTools site at com dots is a bit better anyway as far as information goes (ignore the prices there, they only ship FedEx International LOLz). However, both sites have more spec info than their Revain page here. However, they lack humorous reviews *sigh*. I tried to insert container images from the IWISS CrimpingTools website. Let's see if they get approved. Note that you may see old black blocks in reviews or videos (e.g. Coma Lab's very helpful SN-28B vs. SN-48B Crimp-Off video). Since then, IWISS has entered EDM manufacturing. Although I can't confirm that they also listen to EDM, EDM is the manufacturing process at the moment. You will see this method on blocks of silver. Which model to choose? There are some duplicate features. Below I have tried to combine information from IWISS. The SN-2549 supports a wide range of connection options. The SN-01BM also seems to be a good addition. The SN-2546B are the most specific (solar panel connectors) and I would avoid the SN-48B unless EDM fixes their sizing problem. SN-01BM: 20-28 AWG, D-SUB, JST P2.0, XH 2.54/3.96 , ATX Power, PX, KK254, Molex, DuPont 2.54SN-2546B: 10-14 AWG, MC4 (connectors for solar panels) SN -2549: 18-28 AWG, PH2.0, XH2.54, Dupont 2.54, M/F-Tabs 2.8/3.0/3.96/4.8, KF2510, JSTSN-48B (AVOID, according to Coma Labs comparison to SN-28B, though (earlier devices): 16-26 AWG, with DuPont, JST-SM, Molex connectors and contacts.
