Review on ACCEL 170037 Superstock Crimp Tool by David Estevez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Spend $$ on a higher quality Accel crimp tool

Ok I bought this item at my local car dealership when we were installing new wires for a new junction box. I figured this would work in a pinch as my friend forgot to bring his professional pliers. Well let me just say it wasn't worth the price. Many of the bruises on this thing were minor at best, and in fact one came off completely when I was about to change my boot. Luckily I was able to return it for a refund and even the guy at the auto shop mentioned how crappy this particular crimping tool is. Since I don't have a single spark plug wire at the moment and none of the other dealerships stock a ratchet crimp tool, I ordered one for about the same price from a reputable source with lots of positive feedback on their tool. Lucky for me, I'm in no rush to assemble the car.
