iCrimp Open Barrel Terminal Crimping Tool for Molex Style DELPHI AMP TYCO Deutsch Terminals Crimper, Molex Crimping Tool,24-14 AWG

I used this crimping tool to make jumper wires from 22 AWG wires. The tool worked effectively, and its price is also reasonable.

Accurate crimping of Weatherpack terminals. The ratcheting mechanism makes the job easier and it also prevents over-crimping of the terminal itself. The tool is a bit heavier than most, but it is well constructed, high quality, has well padded handles, and the ability to not to loose it’s grip on the terminal you are working on make it worth while. I own several icrimp tools for other applications (PEX clamps, for example) and prefer them over some higher priced crimpers that don’t have the capabilities of this tool. I’ve used it on 30+ terminals so far and would give it an excellent rating.

Nice set of crimpers for small pin connectors .

Spring grip and light weight. Great price!

Good tool

Works great!

These crimpers arrived today and I went out and did some test crimps. I meant to use these on bare regular crimp terminals as well as Molex Style DELPHI AMP TYCO Terminals. It does the bare regular crimp terminals reasonably well but you have to get used to it and how it works. With bare regular crimp terminals they have a split and that split needs to be dealt with properly if you are going to get a very tight crimp.The crimp section that is meant to fold the open Molex Style properly also does the same thing to the regular crimp terminals if you take the time and position the split the proper way.I wondered if this would work out, and it does. I have to use all the slots on this crimper except the smallest one but it works. The bare terminals I'm doing are smaller awg 18 - 22 size. The terminals are ELECALL IT-420 420pcs 18 in 1 Crimp Terminals bought here on amazon.I also have some Molex Style terminals that are from a relay panel that holds 5 Bosch 24v relays that plug in from the top. The Molex Style terminals slip in from the bottom and are held via small tabs that are bent out.This crimper worked on those but did have some problems with the wings on the open style terminal. I had to work it slowly until I could get those wings to behave and bend over in the center. Same thing for the outer part that grips the insulation, it worked but took some technique before it was properly crimped.I am going to finish these off with Eventronic 3:1 Heat Shrink Tubing bought here on amazon, the type with glue inside so it seals and once cooled holds very well.I do not know what type of terminals this crimper would "just work" on as in, grab, crimp, done. It does what I hoped it would do, crimp regular bare terminals, but with some careful "technique" applied.The wiring job I bought all this for is a 2006 Enco 14x40 industrial lathe. I am rewiring the entire thing from 3ph to use a VFD drive. The on, start, stop, forward and reverse, E-Stop and safety interlocks are all going to work as it did before I removed the entire electrical panel with old relays and transformer and replaced it all with the VFD drive and 5 Bosch 24v relays. This is the type of job that will be done once and has to be done in such a way so it will be reliable and last, perhaps longer then me.~

This order was to grimp electrical terminals. It was decent enough to suffice; I noticed the alignment in the handles were off a bit….not shocking considering the prices.
