Klein Tools 3000CRKIT Ratchet Crimping Tool Set, (4) Interchangeable Dies for Heat Shrink, Non-Insulated, Insulated and Ferrule Terminal Connectors

AS EXPECTED, QUALITY ITEM

Another Klein product. Cant fault it. Saves getting three separate wire and ferrule crimpers.

Does the job nicely, no damage to the outer heatshrink sleeve after crimping the ferrule, normal crimp tools always seen to compromise the outer sleeve but these don’t

Nice pair of crimps but doesn’t work with uninsulated automotive crimps. Works well with solid but crimps.

Gave great results. Connectors holding very strong. Would've liked a bit more leverage, reducing the needed force, but that's a personal preference.

As a marine mechanic, crimping heat shrink crimp terminals, is a very common task for me. Some dats, I do nothing but wiring for 8 hours. We have a similar tool to this at work, that I use every day. Knowing that I have some wiring work due on my project car (stereo, gauges, etc), I bought this tool because my own personal ratcheting crimper is substandard, and the one at work, spoiled me. I chose this one because I know that Klein is a trusted brand for electrical work. I read the reviews and one think that concerned me, was a few comments that said they were hard to use- physically stiff. That was actually true for about the first 5 or 6 crimps, requiring two hands. Then, they loosened up- and now it's brilliant. You can hold the crimper in your dominant hand, place the terminal in it, and squeeze it a click or two- just enough for it to hold the terminal- inset the wire with your other hand, and boom-done. Just as it should be. This makes good solid crimps, and doesn't damage the heat shrink insulation. The crimps were mechanically strong, no fear of them falling apart. I did use all 3 sizes that this tool is capable of. Paired with good- quality terminals, you're set. They're a bit large, but not overly so. This gives you good leverage while still being able to work in limited space. Five stars. Definitely recommend.

Ponchan muy bien las terminales, lo genial es la presión que ejercen y la variedad de terminales que puedes hacer con una sola pinza

Purovides the correct crimp for uninsulated terminals. Ratchet action prevents jaws opening before a full crimp is achieved.

This thing is Awesome!! Super easy to use and it makes the nicest, cleanest and most secure crimps. I used this crimper to make all the connections for the wiring for a car audio install. And the fact you can change out the plates makes this thing so versatile and saves you from having to buy special crimping tools you might only need a few times now and again. Seriously love this thing. Worth the money for sure. You get perfect crimps every time. If you are debating on spending the money I’d say buy it. It seems to be of great quality and should last the average user a lifetime. Make sure to buy quality crimps, this tool is only as good as the crimps you buy. Just updated this review with pics of tool and storage container. I love this tool!
