Pro'sKit 100-039 Eclipse Tools Pro's Kit Crimper Pliers, 9.5", Original Version

I modified these pliers by cutting the tips off. I could then use them as bead rollers for my 7.3 powerstroke charge pipes. I haven't blown my boots off since rolling the beads out. Awesome for when you're pushing more than stock PSI

These crimpers work well.

For the price, awesome. The crimp is small, my blue points crimp a bit better with a wider pinch that holds the wires together better. Still though, great for the price.

The Eclipse Tools Crimper Pliers are as good as the well known-brand name crimpers, but cost less. After using them several times I can say they are well made and a good value. I've used the other type of crimpers that only flatten the connector to the wire. They usually have strippers somewhere on the tool, too. Those type don't make a reliable crimp! You'd be better off soldering the wire connection. If that isn't possible these are the style of crimpers to use. I like the indent that the tool uses to push the connectors sleeve into the joined wire. It really makes for a strong and durable crimp. The wire snips at the nose of this tool is sharp and seems solid. The dipped insulated handles are thick and shouldn't pull-off like some lesser brand pliers. The pliers are 9 1/2 inches in length and provide ample force to create a sound crimp.

I'm a tool nutI would compare to Snap onBut 30 dollars cheaper

Nice fit/finish for $15. If you do much wiring I'd pay up for Klein, etc. Still good value for spare/light use.

I never in my life thought I would say I love a wire crimper.It is a world of difference using this compared to one of the stripper/crimper combos.The crimper on the front offers more control holding the wire in the electronic connecter you're joining.It also offers much more leverage to do the job with just one squeeze.I should have bought one of these a long time ago!

I modified mine to crimp bumps (bead) ion my aluminum intercooler tubing! I cut off the end with a Dremel cut-off disc and welded on a stop so my crimp depths were consistent. You just need a few spots to keep the clamp from slipping off. You can use the tool as is after removing the cutter portion. I softened the crimp protrusion some with a small diameter Dremel stone.
