Twidec/Wire Crimping Pliers 2.8/4.8/6.3 mm Spade 26-16AMG Crimping Tools Manual Crimp Fold Tool for Open Barrel Terminals SN-48B

These do the job at a very good price. Takes a few attempts to learn the right way to use them. But after that, you get a good crimp every time.

Solid. Does the job

This tool crimps well. I've done 200 crimps with it already. It opens a bit wide and the grip is hard plastic, but for the price it's excellent. It's a tad challenging to crimp but it's really not a big deal. With proper technique you can crimp for hours.

Did you ever need to crimp a spade-type wire connector and wanted it to look professional, and more importantly, something you could be proud of doing? The Twidec/Wire Crimping Pliers 2.8/4.8/6.3 mm Spade 26-16AMG Crimping Tool is just the gadget for us amateur electrical hobbyists. In fact, the crimping tool is so good that it wouldn't surprise me if it is used professionally as well. Easy to use, it works on 2.4, 4.8 and 6.3 mm Spade-type lugs on wire sizes from 26 to 16 AMG. A good deal for the price and delivered on time. It might be something you should consider for an aspiring electrical tech. Or purchase it for yourself like I did.

This is advertised as able to crimp the connectors for RC servo wires. I was unable to get any of 5 connectors to work properly. They would either fall out of the crimper or shift slightly and the crimp would be lopsided, or they would crush it to the point that the locking tab was distorted. I can hand crimp and put a spot of solder on three or four of these in the time it takes me to load and crimp one with this tool. It is not designed for small connectors.
