Review on 🔧 TICONN Heat Shrink Connectors Crimping Tool: Ratcheting Wire Crimper Pliers - Ratchet Terminal Crimper - Wire Crimp Tool (30C, Blue) by Victor Olsen

If I hadn't started my project so late I would have just returned. I bought them separately from a number of terminals from the same company. This was the recommended model. Even with the right 22-18 AWG (red) setting and direction, it just won't grab the wire. Ordinary pliers produce a "better crimp". In my photos you can see that the terminal is wide open even when fully pressed. (I corrected it too) I try to upload another photo, between the slots on the pliers you can clearly see that the clamps are barely making contact. I tried the ProsKit kit but you can't even see through the gap!
