Honestly was hesitant buying this for the fear that I’d be buying a junk product because of how cheap it was. All I can say now is, don’t waste $100+ on alternative crimpers & buy this. I used this strictly for SHCA Oversized 1/0 power cable. Both the strippers & crimper worked well, the lugs are snug and not going anywhere. The carrying pouch is very convenient as well. Well worth the money & would definitely buy again

The crimper works fine although you really need 3 hands to make it work easily. Need two hands on the handles and a third to secure the item you need to crimp. The cable cutters are worthless for cutting any thick cable. Would not cut 1/8” cable.

My regular cutters and crimpers didn't do well on 12/3 NM or 6/3 wire. Would only work by taking small bites across the wire. The bypass cutters included in this kit sliced through 6/6/8 NM like it was 14/2. Saves a lot of time and is easy on the hands. Plus, I needed a way to crimp lugs on #6 stranded wire. The crimper is adjustable for different size lugs and does a great job.

Doesn't properly crimp standard AWG crimps, it's set up for metric crimping and sizing is off. They are not interchangeable.

This Crimper and cable cutter combo works perfectly. The cable cutter cuts cables cleanly and makes it much easier to put on cable lugs. The crimper, does a very nice job crimping lugs and giving you a professional looking custom job on your project.

Dealing with heavy gauge wire is a pain. This tool set is very sturdy and made cutting and crimping a splice for my positive battery cable a breeze. I also like that the gauges rotate so you don't have to fool around with different adapters which are easy to loose. The case is flimsy, but it's nice to have.

Great ToolSaved me a ton of money having someone else make cables or buy themCaution: hard to crimp one handedthis is not a function of tool but a fucntion of getting manuel pressure appliedI almost bought a cheaper crimper that you pound with a hammerJust installed a meter requiring me to cut a cable and put on two lugsWould have been impossible with a hand/hammer typeThis was under a dinette in an RV, limited space, operated by a grumpy 67 manI got the job done without being banned from HeavenAnother Pro Tip:Check the lug Size for cable diamater and end attachement point sizeI had a great crimp on a wrong size fitting first time aroundThe Included cutters work great

This is a great crimping tool for the price. I have been looking for a while and found this one. I did not want a hydraulic crimping tool. It seemed like overkill. This one works very easily and crimps/cold welds as good as any I have seen.The dye's are all built in to the head and there nothing to change. By pressing the dye lugs on the head you can rotate the dye and select the size you need. Much faster than swapping them out. You also need much less room. A typical hydraulic crimper is large, and has a set of swappable dye's. They come in a large case and are very heavy.This set comes complete with the crimper for sizes 10 AWG to 2 AWG (10,8,6,4,2), and the set of cable cutters. There is also a carrying case for storage. Crimping is easy and very light work. As with any crimper, place your lug/fitting into the dye setting, insert your wire/cable, squeeze the handles together and you are done. A perfect cold weld. The crimper is heavy duty and very durable. It is also very compact for a crimper.It performs and fulfills my needs perfectly. It is an outstanding value for the price, and I give it 5 stars.

Case was damaged, large hole through to the cardboard, another hole in the strap. The paint was also scratched of the tool handle, probably due to the cutters not being secured and floating around in the very cheap case.Also the markings on the crimping die make no sense. Using the correct setting for 25mm2 cable and the correct lug the crimp hardly touched it and the cable just fell out. Going down a size seemed to work ok though. If you don't mind playing guess the crimp size and you don't need the case then these are easy enough to use. but the incorrect markings do not inspire confidence that you have a good crimp (which defeats the point of the tool).

This review is for:Battery Cable Lug Crimper Tool 6-50mm², Wire Crimping Tool, Hand Electrician Pliers for Crimping Wire Cable with Cable Cutter for 10,8,6,4,2 and 1/0 AWG Wire Cable Cutting and Crimper with Storage BagFrom Fstop LabsI received this yesterday and used it in a few crimps for 2AWG stranded, tinned copper insulated.Thus far I had been using a hydraulic crimper 16Ton YQK-300 by IWISS and will compare the two.Pro:Much easier to hold work and complete crimp with only my 2 hands and no helper.Much quicker overall to complete a good clean crimp.Dies do not squash terminal material out the sides like the hydraulic ones.The cutters made a nice clean effortless cut on the thick wire I'm working with.Cons:Dies are a lot narrower at 3/16" (5mm) than the hydraulic dies which vary slightly but are around 3/8" (9mm) wide but since this tool is so much faster to work with this is less of an issue than I thought it would be.There are no instructions and no reference chart for the die sizes.The description makes you think the dies are labeled for AWG but they are not, they are for mm. This was my fault and I should have looked at the product details more closely before buying. I had the cross reference chart for the conversion but you will need to look it up if you are working with AWG.The case is fine but the stitching inside for the elastic and velcro is poor quality being both loose and incomplete across the material. There was a run on one of the pieces of elastic. Even if all of this stitching fails I'm still glad to have the case.So far so good.
