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 Travis Garron

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Worked for our installation

We crimped about 50 of these, two crimps each. My suggestion is to go in the order shown on the picture - crimp closest to the end first, then move into the middle. Worked much better for me. This thing takes a lot of force. I laid it down on a bench and used two hands on the moving handle. It ran out of fluid with no visible leak about a third of the way into the project but the instructions were pretty clear on how to refill. Just know where to go get hydraulic jack fluid.

Pros
  • The resistant and sturdy appearance of the tool showcases its durability
Cons
  • The crimping mechanism can be difficult to control precisely
