Review on Forney 57637 Lug Crimping Tool by Ronnie Toups

Revainrating 5 out of 5

great little tool for the price.

Out of the box, the unit was heavier than I expected. The casting isn't pretty, but the finish was good. I've only used it to crimp two cables, but it worked perfectly. I wish there was a way to attach it to something as holding the cable in the end while keeping the crimper upright while swinging a hammer can be a bit cumbersome.but the spring helps. I read that it's reversible, I didn't try to change the + to - (I heat shrink my ends).but that's a nice feature. I would recommend this to the occasional user. If you're a pro, I'd spend the money on something a little more ergonomic.

Pros
  • Nice heavy duty tool, does what I need it to do. Better than using the vice to crimp.
Cons
  • The price is too high for the quality of the tool
