Light Weight Ratchet Crimp Tool Crimper .043" .068" .100" .137" .213" .255" for RF Coax RG58 RG59 RG62 RG174 Fiber Optic

Well made with reasonable instructions. Moch better than cheap crimper from big box stores. Looks like other jaws are available for different types of connections. Crimper LMR240 cable using .255 size die. Noticed it matters which direction the cable is inserted from. Not mentioned in the instructions. I’d buy them again, especially if I can get optional jaws for different connectors

This heavy-duty crimper seems well-made and feels beefy. Worked fine for my occasional needs. It did not come with any instructions, but if you work with electronics you can certainly figure out how to use it. Squeeze completely to release the ratcheting mechanism and open the tool. Note that by design, one side of the die does not crimp all the way to the edge, so orient your cable accordingly when crimping. Nice tool.

This version says "lightweight" implying a heavier grade unit is preferred/needed. I found it to adequate for crimping everything I needed and should last a long time for hobbyist use . The "heavy duty" version was not quickly available for order when needed.

I've only used this tool twice but each time it performed as advertised, and it crimps very well.

Great range of sizes and good quality. I have another (much more expensive) crimper like this that didn’t have the smaller .213 size I needed. This was affordable and almost indistinguishable from the more expensive version I had. The crimp it made was solid and resisted some hard pulls I subjected it to to test it out.

You don't have a lightweight, cheap feeling in your hand with this crimp. In fact, you better have some strong hands! I'd add a picture but trust me, it's NOT junk. My pic wouldn't be any better than theirs, besides.

I like that they seem to be built well... seem strong and should last my lifetime.

Bought these to crimp BNC connectors on RG 58. They worked perfect. They have a small crimp for the pin and crimps for RG 174, RG 58 and RG 59.
