Nice luxury if you use a lot of Scotchlok plugs.

Didn't think I'd need one of these until I accidentally bought them. They are excellent for crimping Scothlok connectors. Perfect crimping every time without overcrimping. Facilitates quick connection.

Pros
  • Used for crimping/crimping UR, UY, UG and UB style connectors
Cons
  • Not sure

Good tool for a good price.

Ideal tool for Bell guy wires. This is what you need if you use a lot of 3M Scotchlock IDC butt or splice connectors. If you try to use regular pliers it's too easy to apply too much force and break or damage the connectors.

Pros
  • Also compatible with other telecom connectors
Cons
  • No

Crimping error.

Purchased for use with 3M Scotchlok UR2 IDC connectors and Cat 5e cable to replace existing phone cable. There were a lot of connection problems because the pliers didn't crimp properly. The blade prevents my pliers from fully crimping. Re-crimping with a different crimping tool eliminated the errors. I was happy to pay twice as much for a tool that compresses properly.

Pros
  • Vinyl pin
Cons
  • Some small parts
