Klein Tools 3005CR Wire Crimper Tool, Ratcheting Insulated Termil Crimper for 10 to 22 AWG Wire

solid tool. Yes it's heavier than the cheap ones but very solidly built and does a great job crimping. FYI, some people don't like the grip required to release the ratchet mechanism. Look closely at the photo. It has a release lever and it is adjustable so you can set to where you want it or just flip the lever.

This is I looking for

Excellent tool and reasonable

This tool is the best. Top quality heavy duty crimper.

Clearly well made - not in the USA - seems Klein Tools joined the many manufacturers going east. The crimper is heavy and a bit awkward to use. Requires very strong and preferably big hands. I don’t have big hands but managed ok for the few crimps I needed done. It does have a “switch” that gets released and ready for the next crimp only when the handles were pressed really hard to finish the crimp. Had I needed to use it all day long or for prolonged periods - it would not have been my choice tool but for occasional usage for someone who appreciates well made tools - i will keep it. I purchased another brand for almost half the cost of this one and it is lighter. It worked fine too - i am keeping both (2 different places).

Great quality

Worth it, changed my mind on crimping. So, all through my adult life I have hated crimped contacts. They just never worked for me, then one day I'm watching a youtube video and I'm like, "maybe I should give it another try but this time I'll use a "professional tool" ". Well I got the most expensive one (I think it is maybe not) and you what? It worked, all these years I was not squeezing hard enough, not even close. This tool fixed that problem, I can recommend this one.

It works extremely well with secure, tight crimps and it can be easily be adjusted to a persons grip strength. Quality tool and good value for the price. I like that it double crimps and is easy to align the joint. Solid tool
