Pros & Cons
Pros
This tool makes the crimping process easy to do, especially if doing many crimps. The crimps are precise and crimp in two places which secures the wire very well. Never fails and crimps without effort.
Works great for crimping electrical connectors. Works very well on heat-shrink connectors and also regular connectors. Never had a connector come loose.

The double crimp plates make for the best connections, no contest compared to the single combo wire stripers/ crimpers.
Look, at this price you are not going to get amp (or similar manufacturer) quality.
