Review on Forney 57637 Lug Crimping Tool by Luke Cotton

Revainrating 3 out of 5

If you are looking for 'Made in America' this isn't it.

The product info proudly discusses "Forney Industries is one of America's longest operating family-owned metal working product companies."I guess nowhere does it actually state 'made in America' - but kinda inferred such. Opened the package and was immediately dissapointrd at the finish (part of the black finish was chipped off or not applied), then more disappointment came when I saw the big 'CHINA' etched in the metal on the back.I probably could have called to complain and received one that didn't have a defective finish- but I needed to get my crimpin on and finish a project. It performed pretty good as a crimper, just worried about quality.

Pros
  • Crimps cable lugs from #6 American Wire-Gauge (AWG) to #3/0 AWG
Cons
  • The crimps are not consistently strong
