Review on 14-Inch Wire Rope Crimping Tool For Stainless Steel, Copper & Aluminum Sleeve Ferrules And Railing End Fitting Terminals. Includes 1/8" Steel Cable Cutter by James Cowan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poorly designed. good for me

They seem OK but the cutting surfaces cross while the handles are still far apart, so you have to use 2 hands to cut (!) Kind of a major flaw for a small cutter that is basically a wire cutter. For bolt cutters or large wire rope shears you expect to use 2 hands, but not at this size.

Pros
  • I use them for cutting stainless steel seals works great better than using diagonal cutters
Cons
  • The crimping process may not be as precise as required
