Review on Muzata 45KN Upgraded Custom Hydraulic Hand Crimper Tool For 1/8" Stainless Steel Cable Railing Kit Hardware Wire Rope Swaging 1Pair Dies With Wire Cable Cutter CR09 CK12, CT1 by Corey Katchem

After reading the negative reviews I decided to take a chance on this tool on the belief that most of those reviews were a reflection of faulty users and not faulty tools. As I predicted, at least in my case, I was right! Adding pipes and other things for leverage is a recipe for disaster as anyone who knows anything about hydraulics knows, over pressuring a cylinder will cause failure in the tool or the seals! Two things the worked for me were 1, hold the tool between your legs using both arm and leg mussels. when you feel a sudden solid pressure, stop, its done. 2, make your first crimp with the end of the stud tensioners only three quarters in the dies. This will absolutely lock the cable in followed by a second crimp right behind the first. I finished my deck in about a day using 60 stud tensioners for a total of 120 crimps with an added bonus of stronger arm and leg mussels! If I can do it with a sore arm (tetanus shot the day before) so can you! The cutter made 60 cut and didn't have a scratch afterwards, awesome!
