TICONN Crimping Tool for Heat Shrink Connectors - Ratcheting Wire Crimper - Crimping Pliers - Ratchet Terminal Crimper - Wire Crimp Tool (30C, Blue)

Easy to use with the splicing butts.

It works perfectly, no problems, no issues. BTW, it takes more effort to take it out of the package than using it.

When I received the crimper I thought it was defective because every time I tried to crimp a quick disconnect connector, the wire would easily slide out. After a quick google search I realized that the tool just needed to be tightened a bit in order to work. There is a little gear near the base of the grips with a + and - on it, if you remove the screw and carefully push the gear towards the +, the crimper will tighten and make a much more secure crimp. After tightening, it seems to be a very good crimper.

Great product at a reasonable price.

Great product.

I Never Leave A Review, this time I had to due to all the negative reviews. I received the 30C crimping tool this morning and immediately opened and began using it. I have had multiple crimping tools and for the price I have never had a better one. As another writer pointed out this tool is for single crimp heat shrink type of connectors size AWG 10-22. If you need a double crimp get a different tool they make one the 20C, if you need a different size get a different tool. If you have cable you need crimping buy a tool for crimping connectors on cable, etc etc etc. These are some of the best crimpers I've ever owned and I've spent a lot of money on various crimping tools. The crimp is tight and solid when done correctly. The ease of crimping the connectors was very easy at least for the 187 crimps I did today. If your whining about these crimpers especially for the price, you just like to whine or you got a bad pair, simple fix on the latter return them and get a new tool, can't help you with the whining one, sorry. The only complaint I have is there from China and I try to buy American made.

Like many other people, I was having the problem that it wasn't actually crimping. The wires just fell right back out of the connector. But it's adjustable, right? Except... there are no instructions on how to do that! And that's the biggest problem with this tool. It's pretty obvious that you have to remove the screw next to the star wheel. But after that, you may find -- as I did -- that the wheel just won't budge. It took me a *long* time to figure out that you need to turn it with needle nose pliers. So that's the technique: 1. Unscrew the little screw next to the wheel 2. Use needle nose pliers to turn the wheel towards the little + sign (clockwise) 3. Gradually increase the crimping force this way (maybe a half turn of the wheel at a time), and test the crimping as you go 4. Don't overdo it, or you might over-crimp your connectors 5. Once you've got it crimping just right, put the little screw back in TICONN, you should update this listing with instructions!

Wonderful tool that’s very handy and easy to use with other TICONN wire connections.
