Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Klein Tools 1005 Cutting/Crimping Tool: Terminal Crimper for 10-22 AWG Insulated and Non-Insulated Terminals, Red by Peter Green

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feel Solid, Work Well, Made in the USA.

Great crimping tool set. After the trailer wiring fiasco where the wires fell out of the "crimped" connectors, the search for a quality kit began. For some reason I remembered an old electrician friend who said the only tools he used on the job were made by Klein. So I ended up getting these. To be honest, all the others I've used have been cheap kits made in China that felt brittle and often had rubber grips that slipped off when crimped or awkwardly bent sideways. "Crimping", whereby the wires then slip out of the plugs. I'm not an electrician, just a guy who does house, boat or motorcycle wiring. This facilitates a secure connection. For some reason the description lists them as "imported" but the handle clearly says "Made in the USA" and the Klein website says they are made here too. so you go

Pros
