Review on 🔧 Qibaok Ratcheting Wire Terminal Crimping Tool Kit: Crimper AWG 22-16 (0.5-1.5mm²) + 500PCS Female Male Spade & Bullet Connectors by Alex Tinker

Although the crimping tool uses 16 gram wire and large spade lugs to make seemingly solid crimps, they can be pulled out quite easily, especially if you bend the crimp area all. when sliding over the male connector. I think it's because the connectors are very thin and malleable. The metal just doesn't have the tensile strength to hold the wires very well, although the crimp worked fine. I wouldn't trust that in an automotive environment, so resort to tinning the wires and then soldering them after crimping to make sure they can't come loose. I believe this will work better with a higher quality connector. The crimping tool itself works well but takes practice and is a little juggling at times. There are also no instructions and for those who have never used such crimping tools it may not be clear how to place the connector in the device. OEM in some vintage UK cars with Lucar style see-through connectors. Were it not for the woeful quality of the metal connectors themselves, this would be a good system.
