iCrimp Ratcheting Spark Plug Connector Crimper Tool for 8.5mm Ignition Cables and Spark Plug Wires Review

Makes making spark plug wires easy. It makes perfect curves every time. If used properly I think it will last a lifetime.

Contrary to the image shown, the product received was left handed. The crimping dies were installed upside down or upside down. Just uninstall and reinstall as it should. Functionally acceptable now.

I work a lot with old cars and use 7mm wire. They work well with wires that make a very good "B" crimp. This also applies to 8mm wires. It also has a ratchet so you can recover from the morning! Oops! I like the stripper as it works well with Hipalon jacketed wires. I don't often give 5 stars, but they are great!

100% recommend this hand tool over the cheaper tool you use with a vise. It was super easy to use. Strangely, the matrix has been modified from the YouTube video I saw from the manufacturer. Of course, that works great too, it just confused me at first. The stripper works great and makes very strong bends. Seems very well done. Crimped ignition wires for the first time and it was very easy.

Works well, acceptable quality. They also seem to use the same dies/jaws as MSD dies and accept MSD dies/jaws. (successfully tested) The handles are a bit longer than the MSD handles, but I don't care about that in operation. No additional leverage is required. The ratchet action on them isn't as good as the MSD, but doesn't seem to make a difference in performance. I would highly recommend them as a budget option versus MSD crimping tools.
