Good value for money for solar and wind power

If you need a precision crimping tool this is the tool for you. It snaps into place making it easy to use and will not release the terminal until it has been crimped very well to form a proper cold weld.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Some complications

Good quality crimping tool

Good, strong and durable crimping tool that makes installing MC-4 connectors easier. At first I tried installing the MC-4 connectors with needle nose pliers and without this tool a reliable connection is no longer the same.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Just as good as the expensive ones

Don't waste $200 on these *um* orange ones. These MC4 connectors crimp perfectly and won't break (alone or in a jar). I used a colleague for a while (same pair but a few years ago) and when he asked why I shouldn't just buy my own I said because I can't afford a $200 hand tool which he laughed at and sent me a link to them. Now they never leave my belt.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Functionality

Do not attempt to assemble solar connectors without it.

This allowed the solar system to be installed quickly. I used to use auto crimp connections with heat shrink tubing or tape and didn't feel like I had really good connections. Plug connections are easy to assemble once you get used to them. Make sure you understand which pin goes with which connector and anyone can easily set up their own solar system. I wouldn't hesitate to make my own with this gadget.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • unreliable

Excellent crimping tool

This tool works the same as other crimping tools but is cheaper. Heavy duty construction means this tool will last longer than any other. This tool is indispensable for my goal of creating solar systems for our company. The type of connectors and the size of the wires didn't allow for full assembly in the shop, so we had to make them in our shop. We looked at other brands but their costs were astronomical compared to this one. Also, the color can be changed for different gauges of wire and is…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Requires socket

Inexpensive but not for solid MC4 connectors

This crimping tool has gotten a lot of rave reviews so I decided to take a chance and use it to crimp solar MC4 connectors. If you use cheap 20 amp stamped metal MC4 connectors this will probably work just fine. If you are using the much more powerful 30Amp solid MC4 connectors, which are solid bar machined on a lathe, this tool will not work properly. I used the latter and could barely get the crimping tool to close them. In fact, I had to use a ratcheting woodworking clamp to clamp the…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Some issues
