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 Adam Hutchinson

Spend the money on a quality crimper!

I purchased this crimper to field swage the cable rail connections for my deck. It has been an utter disappointment and a ton of wasted time and money.It's extremely difficult to pump and there's no clear indication as to how much crimping force is being applied. I resorted to pumping the crimper 20 times, crimping the connection twice for each fitting, and the cables are still pulling out when tensioned.At this point I don't trust the current connections with my children and I'm afraid I just wasted 22 fittings, 100 ft of cable, and a day's worth of work.Just spend the money on a quality crimper. It'll cost you a lot less in the long run.

Pros
  • The tool is designed to be easy to adjust, allowing you to customize your crimping experience for optimal results
Cons
  • Not suitable for use with wires that are too hard or brittle
