Review on Performance Tool W89732 Terminal Release by Matt Kucrud

Productivity Tool (W89732) 23 Piece Wire Stripper Set contains 'picks' (aka 'stripper tools') specifically designed for the most advanced automotive electrical connectors. There's enough variation in the choices that there's a good chance it will work with most multi-terminal connectors ever made. Quality isn't great - the plastic handles are Harbor Freight quality, and the picks themselves aren't hardened steel like "production" tools, but even at $100, it's cheap. My alternative was a $32 TE Junior Power Timer and a $34 TE Standard Power Timer plus a pair of $15 Delphi tools. That's $100 to make four custom connectors, and that's $100 and does all the crazy car connectors as far as I can tell. Delphi) and they worked. Strangely enough the actual picks for one of the TE instruments were set at a 45 degree angle so I had to modify them but after that it worked. I think this is one of those moments where cheap metal is better than hardened steel. If I tried to fix a real instrument, it would break. I say this with authority because I needed two Delphi tools. I broke mine. :) However, the tolerances aren't that big - like Harbor Freight, everything is 90% correct. It would be crazy if you worked on these connectors all day, but as a hobbyist with a need from time to time, this is a hurdle to overcome. I definitely wouldn't spend $600 on "real" versions of all of these tools. $100 for everything suits me fine. This is a MUCH better deal than round tools sold under different brand names for $10-$30 each. These tools are extremely inconvenient to use and just as cheap. This is a strong competitor in the low/mid range. I'm only giving it four stars because the cost of the plastic is seriously low and the missing metal that would give a 1.9mm pick a proper width of 2.0mm is incredibly cheap. Why not get them just right instead of almost right? I do not know. No, I know, crappy technology. :) Я почти дал ему три звезды из-за отсутствия руководства - инструменты помечены брендом, например, "BMW" и "Honda", но, как известно любому, кто работает с автомобилями, у данного автомобиля может быть два десятка различных стилей разъемов в That. It would be more helpful to specify the connector series (eg Delphi GT150 or TE Power Timer) or a picture of the intended connector, but it doesn't matter. There are 23 tools in total, you will find out for yourself. After all, there is no alternative to this product in this price range, so go for what you have! If you're messing around with car plugs for whatever reason - maybe hybridizing something or replacing your fuel injection system - this is a smart approach.
