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 Cristofer Cejudo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

After 144 and still going - Leverage!

The tool makes nice crimps but man is it tough on the hands. After a while I had to use 2 tubes (from floor jack handle) for leverage. It warns against using too much force and popping the seals so I was careful not to over pressurize the part. I've done 144 crimps so far.Also, make something to stop it from rotating during the crimping process and use extensions on the handles if you want to make this easy on your hands, I used my Workmate as a vise to hold it.When crimping I noticed it never really came to a dead stop, more of a "yep, that's surely enough".I still have a few more to do, I'm convinced it'll last until the end of the project.

Pros
  • The Muzata 45KN Upgraded Custom Hydraulic Hand Crimper Tool is perfect for DIY enthusiasts who want to create their own cable railing systems
Cons
  • The cutter is not very user-friendly, requiring a lot of strength to operate
