Sooooo good
As you'd expect from Klein these do a great job. Not too expensive and every crimp is super solid. Can't fault these for the price. I convert campervans for a living, so these see a lot of use. Great quality tool that I can really trust.

Expensive-ish but definitely worth it.
I was going to spend over twice the money for the knipex version but thought I would take a risk on this mid priced version instead. I made the right choice. This is well made and works slot better than the cheaper ones on the market. At around £50 it's is reasonably expensive but nowhere near to the tag of the knipex. Comfortable and easy to use. It is able to easily crimp beyond its designed range. This is one of the best purchase choices I have made. Colleagues with cheaper versions all agree that the extra cost is justified. Definitely recommend!

Best quality crimpers.
Best crimpers with the best quality I've ever used. Can feel it in the weight of them. Nice grippy handle. If the cable pulls out on tug test it’s only the users fault for not holding the cable in properly during crimp lol!

Best crimpers I’ve used
Had tried numerous other tools for crimping spade terminals and they had all been useless. Was beginning to think the design was flawed so decided to fork out on these as a final attempt to get a decent crimp connection. They did not disappoint, grips the wires incredibly well and provides a secure connection with my booted terminals.

Good quality product
I've always used the cheap versions for the odd 1 or 2 here and there, but since I've had a few crimps to do I figured I'd get a quality pair. They did need loosening off at first as they were far too stiff, but once I did that they have been flawless. I tested them with a couple of through crimp on 1.5mm cable, and the cable snapped long before the crimp even broke a sweat so they perform quality crimps flawlessly

Quality Tool
Fantastic. Solid, well built tool. Feels nice in the hand and creates a good solid crimp. Much better than the cheap non branded alternatives that can often make a poor crimp joint, and end up lasting 6 months before they break. This feels like it will last for years to come.

High quality, sturdy, nice to use
High quality, sturdy, nice to use terminal crimper: not the cheapest (or the most expensive) but you only buy once, so worth it. Highly recommended.
