iCrimp IWC-1424A Crimping Tools for Deutsch DT Series Stamped & Formed Contact, Open Barrel Terminal Crimping Tool, AWG14 to AWG24 Wire Crimper

I was prepping some connectors on a set of fog lights for my truck and it required crimping non-insulated open barrel terminals onto wires. After running all over town to the major parts stores, home centers and electrical houses, no one had a tool like this! Ordered on Amazon, arrived the next day and worked great. Tool Quality: Very good fit and finish, clear markings, ergonomic handles, the jaws line up very well with a smooth and linear operations as you crimp. I can't say enough how nice this tool really is. One minor improvement could be to include the insulation/wire gauge markings on both sides of the jaws instead of one, but not a show stopper. Packaging: Very nice as the tool was in a plastic bag and placed inside of a cardboard box with included instructions from the manufacturer, not just loose. Instructions: Included instructions are basic and being my first attempt at crimping terminals like these, I messed a few up--but that wasn't the tool's fault. Rather, having the correct amount of stripped wire insulation and properly placing the wire into the terminal prior to crimping are very important, so I had to fumble through it. Conclusion: Great quality for the money, did exactly what I needed it to do the tool makes very nice crimps if you operate it correctly. For under $20, this tool seems to be an excellent value and will stay in my toolbox!

It’s been working great for all my electrical connectors, makes a nice strong crimp

I wouldn't want them as my every day, go-to crimping pliers, but for occasional use they work great. Well made; not cheap and flimsy. Crimped Deutsch connectors perfectly.

Bought two pairs on accident and it seems one of the pairs doesn't open and close as smooth as the other pair. Besides that they both work good.

Seems to be well made and it works good for crimping open barrel terminals in Deutsch connectors. Not used every day but for the price it is a nice addition to my tool box.

These are the best crimping pliers of this type I have ever used. I placed a four star on "ease of use" because I tend to lose a few moments on every crimp I make figuring, over and over, which cavity to use for the wire and which for the insulation -the markings are not very intuitive-, but, other than that, I just love this tool; clean, strong, reliable crimping every time, no spoiled terminals.

If you have more than a couple of wires that need to be crimped to some pins or other connectors, pliers or other add-hoc tools just won't cut it. You need this. GET ONE!

I had a couple crimpers that worker okay, smaller one worked pretty good. I found this one to work a lot better over a larger range of connectors.
