🔌 Sanuke Battery Cable Wire Lug Crimping Tool for AWG 8-1/0 with Cable Cutter, 12PCS Lugs Tubular Ring Terminal Connectors, and 10PCS 3:1 Dual Wall Adhesive Heat Shrink Tubing Review

Cutters work great but the crimping tool broke the second time around. I replaced the cheap nuts with nylon lock nuts and so far so good. If you're buying these for the occasional lighting project around the home, they should be fine. Just make sure you tighten or replace the nuts where they don't bind. If you're looking for more intensive use, they might not be the best option. The photo shows the nuts that I replaced. Otherwise they did their job.

Instructions were minimal - crimp label in English but written by someone who doesn't speak English - worth next to nothing! Where to put the stamps was a struggle at best. With each spin of the dice, two numbers fall out. And the punches are "sloppy" when crimped. Very small letters on the crimp indicate what size each number means. Pretty thin at best. I only needed it for 6 crimps. I needed cheap and dirty and that's what I got.

Wire cutters, spade lugs and shrink tubing are fine, but the crimping tool is a waste. I suspect the source of the problem is excessive tolerance in the die's hex indexing mechanism. this. the axis of the die hinge and the corresponding hinge hole in the die. This excessive tolerance allows the punches to move at least 20 degrees toward each other, which in turn forms the lugs of the knife blade. Also thank goodness for the online instructions as the tool label instructions are very poorly…

Worked with #6 wire for UTV battery terminals. First, it would be better to indicate the size of the wire on the tool rather than the size in millimeters. It's good that there is a picture of this on the internet that tells you what mm size AWG is. I'll have to look at mine again because I don't think it had that many crimping options. He barely crimped #6. I had to start with a larger 25mm hole and then crimp it again with the next smaller hole. I didn't trust that anyway, so I soldered the…

When I first took the tools out of the box I checked them for fit and finish and thought they looked pretty good for the price. However, when it comes to tools, the real test is how well they do their job. They also did a good job of stripping the insulation without cutting through the copper. The instructions that came with the crimping tools were attached to the tool's handle. Very small fonts required a magnifying glass, and this was made worse by the fact that the label was placed…
