Hexagonal Ferrule Crimper Tool AWG28-5 (0.08-16mm²), Lytool Wire Ferrule Crimping Tool, Self-Adjustable Ratchet Wire Crimping Pliers for Wire Ferrules Terminals Connector Kit, Cables End-sleeves

Works great, especially for the price! The ratchet mechanism makes it easy to use. I wasn't sure what to expect at this price point but it is made of high quality materials and seems to be quite durable.

Eat to use and puts a nice crimp on the wire end. Nice finished look. I wired a solar setup using these and it works fine. Nice assortment of connectors.

I chose this one from the reviews, and from the photos--it looked well made and solid. It is! It has the heft of solidity [not that "heft" is a valid criteria, but it satisfies my conceptions of "quality"]. More to the point, it squeezes down to a consistent stopping point, marked by a satisfying "click" [OK, still visceral]. The final outcome is a well crimped ferrule, with a uniform pattern. For smaller gauge wires in the 20 to 22 range, the indentations pressed into the ferrule [think tooth marks on a Ticonderoga pencil, if from a nervous robot--sorry, I don't know what they are called] are, perhaps, a little too deep. It leaves the ferruled end rather fragile, and prone to breaking once installed in a terminal block. But, maybe that's operator error, but in my defense, the instructions are sparse, and don't provide detail on the why's and how's of adjusting the crimping "pressure".From the instructions: "16-6 crimping pliers can self-adjust the crimping pressure according to different sizes of ferrules, crimp the ferrules into a tight 6-sided shape, suitable for 0.08-16mm² wire (US standard AWG28-5)"Then it briefly touches on adjusting the "pressure" [I thought it was self-adjusting -- Oh...wait...it only "can" self-adjust, but, apparently can't be relied on to do so in every situation?]:"If the insulated ferrules is[sic] not tightly crimped, please use a screwdriver to adjust the pressure adjustment ratchet."Nothing about what "+" or "-" means, so assuming that "-" means less pressure, I set it to the highest "-" and crimped a 20AWG ferrule onto 20 AWG stranded wire, Then I applied a small amount of lateral pressure to the ferruled wire end and it easily snapped. Then I moved the set screw to the highest "+" and did the same test, and no difference. This doesn't break the connection between the wire and the ferrule, it merely creates a point of high fatigue, such that the wire, if in a high vibration, or situation there even minimal flexing is possible will soon break away. And if that happens, then the connection WILL be severed. I.e. reduced strain relief!Another CON is the -C-Ring that holds the Pressure Adjustment cam to the tool. One invariably must rotate the c-ring independently of the cam, to keep it from interfering with the set screw. And for the higher '-' settings, this puts the c-ring in a less supportive position on the cam shaft. But, the self-adjustment feature seems to work, so it may not be necessary to ever more the set screw again. You probably can just set it to max "+" and leave it.Another possible CON is the grip. The anti-slip scoring is a bit abrasive. After only a few minutes use, I could feel the burn on the skin on my hand--the kind of burn that leads to blisters. So, in cases of high usage frequency, I suggest wearing a glove.I will be an infrequent user of this tool, and as such, for me, this tool is a great buy.

I really like the quality on these crimpers, and the vast assortment of connectors that came with them. I like the hexagonal crimp more so then just the square crimp. Seems to get a better bite on the wires. Definitely recommend if you do alot of small wiring into terminals. Makes the job alot easier and creates a much better connection. The ratcheting function on them makes it nice so you don't over or under crimp.

I purchased this item upon the recommendation of an acquaintance who said it was a good quality tool at a reasonable price. I don't often need a ferrule crimper. However, for the occasional hobbyist such as myself this has been great.

Have used several times now and works great!

This crimper works perfectly! It provides precise, secure crimps with minimal effort. The build quality is solid, and it’s comfortable to use. Highly recommend for any wiring project!

May be I was not lucky with tool I received, although terminal’s assembly is very easy and device is nice to use, the quality of the crimp isn’t good: cables come out of terminal alone, which causes unnecessary risks of shorts or fire.
