Review on πŸ”§ Qibaok Ratcheting Wire Terminal Crimping Tool Kit: Crimper AWG 22-16 (0.5-1.5mmΒ²) + 500PCS Female Male Spade & Bullet Connectors by Bobby Valadez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Handy set but poor quality

I tried it on a 16ga wire cut first and it worked great, I was very impressed. Then I started working on a 22ga cable that needed 3.5mm plugs for some turn signals for my motorcycle. It's nice that it does everything in one step, but it wasn't tight enough to hold really well, so I used a different crimping tool to get good connections. I then switched to the smallest flat plugs. The tool just rubbed them. After several attempts, I simply gave up and switched back to circular connectors. In the end it turned out well, although the rubber buffers on the plug connections are unusable. Too loose to stay in place or keep water out. I was finally about to install my turn signals and half the connectors weren't even pushed firmly into the connectors on the wiring harness, they just fell out. I'll have to see if I can get needlenose pliers or something to pry it apart a bit, but the quality control definitely deserves the "Made in China" label. Finally, these plugs are a lot softer than the ones I replaced, which were already cheap, so you have to be really careful with them. At the moment there is only discussion about returning the entire set, although I really liked the choice and the tool that came with it.
