ENGINEER PA-09 Super-Precise Crimping Tool (Made in Japan) Works with AWG32-20 Open-Barrel JST ZH, PH, XH, SH/SHL, Molex KK, Picoblade and Other Narrow-Pitch Connector Contacts

Best tool I ever had for JST crimping, including ZH size, which is tiny. Recommended.

This tool exceeds its simple looking appearance

Just received my PA-09 and was happy till I saw the Made In Taiwan stamp on the packaging prompting further inspection of the product. I found the following on my fake ones.1- Made in Taiwan not Made in Japan2- No engraving on the tool handles (Made in Japan like in pics)3- Latch mechanism is different and uses a rivet instead of screw4- Coating seems glossier than the real ones5- You can see the tooling of manufacturing process on the backside.6- Then engraving i.e. size of die is smaller and fainter than the original Japan ones.While the quality of the Made In Taiwan seems to be good, its just not what was advertised.I should have read more carefully about the seller before I made the purchase.Finally, I felt so deceived I immediately initiated the return within 30 minutes of receiving the fake products and Immediately purchased from Amazon UK as they seem to sell them.Am putting 2 stars for the fake one.

Love this thing, anyone who doesnt has a skill issue.

Wow do these work well. I struggled for some time with another brand of ratching crimpers that were cheaper and thought would suit my intermittent use needs. I had all but given up on making JST crimps since most of the time they mangled the connector or the crimping was not tight. For my first few crimps with these, I tried the 1.9 mm die for some smaller JST connectors. Once I switched to a smaller die every crimp was perfect. Goes to show what a quality tool can do.

Costano è vero, ma sono super precise, una volta che si prende la mano avrete dei crimpaggi a livello industriale, lavorano in due passaggi ma il risultato è pressochè perfetto. Io le preferisco a quelle semi automatiche proprio per il risultato finale.

Excellent product. Tried a cheaper random brand ratcheting crimper and all it did was make a mess. These units have a precision jaw profile and the JST crimps actually work. Narrower profile allows a better view of what you are crimping and taking two crimps to complete the termination is not an issue.

i needed this one
