The one crimper I had was like the iswiss and I found the pins would roll a bit when crimping leaving a less desirable crimp and some it would be defective. The factory crimper does such a better job aligning and crimping both the front and back at the same time is wonderful. SPEND THE MONEY! I found it to be a night and day difference. I also went thru about 10 different crimpers over the years and finally decided to spend the money. The tool I linked to has the same issues that you highlighted. There likely are some higher end tools that don't, but my guess is most in the $20-50 range do. I think they all basically come out of the same factory with different brands on them. Wondering if these Sargent tools provide OEM crimp? Or are these a Molex knockoff? Wondering if these Sargent tools provide OEM crimp? Or are these a Molex from Pin_Fandango: I have it all tested out so I know what size to use for each connector, but I am no longer interested in putting up with experimentarions, I just want an OEM crimp. So it needs to be tuned and sometimes you need to use the wrong size die to get a good crimp. Also, as per my testing, what it might look like a good crimp does not survive a tug test as light a 5lbs. The iwiss was and is ok, but it requires a learning period. Probably overkill for our need but I dont want to deal with cheap tools. I want an OEM crimp, gas tight (all the wires compacted as per OEM testing) which will guarantee the same crimp every time and as per their testing the connector should last. I would say the crimp is 80-90% perfect lol 100% of the time. I have one that looks like that but made by iwiss. Much better and more efficient than the one I linked to in an earlier post. Earlier this year, I picked up one of these, works great.
