Great Company – Only Fair Tool |

Classic British Wiring is an excellent company and supplies quality materials. One exception however, would be this crimper. First, the tool I received was not the one pictured. The crimping dies in the close-up picture appear to be precision manufactured, with a good fit. They are stamped with AWG sizing.
In comparison, the tool I received was much rougher, less precise and stamped with metric sizing. It may be the same model, but it is clearly not the same tool. More importantly, the crimp it produced was inferior. Rather than rolling the flanges into the wire (standard AMP F-Crimp criteria), they simply flatten them, leaving several wires uncovered. I tried adjusting the tension and different die positions to no avail. I could have achieved the same result using a pair of needle nose pliers! For what it’s worth, I was using Classic British Wiring supplied 1/4" Female Spade Terminals (C221).
I would not recommend this crimper.
