Review on 🔧 Channellock 909: High-Quality Wire Crimping Tool for Electricians, Dual Function Terminal Crimp Pliers with Cutter - Insulated and Non-Insulated Connections, Long-lasting Laser Heat-Treated Edges, Made in the USA by David Elam

I used this crimping tool to crimp over 500 23AWG forked connectors for BMS leads on my LTO SCiB batteries. Everything I've tried so far to get them glued other than soldering hasn't worked. I was amazed that I could crimp the terminals without piercing the plastic around the crimping area of the terminals. I have such a good cold crimp that I couldn't remove the terminals. They tire my arms a bit and I had to rest for a few minutes after every 25 presses. My hands have been in severe pain for several days since completing the last terminal. I have also used this tool to crimp connectors on my solar panels and have been pleased with the results. They were very stiff at first, but after some penetrating oil, they came off just fine. I have a full set of channel locks in my toolbox and have never had a problem with them. This is a very good American company and they are made in the USA. If you start crimping at the first position of the tool as shown in the picture and then switch to the second position, it won't penetrate the plastic.
