ZhushanPowerpole Crimping Tool – Heavy Duty Crimper for 15/30/45 Amp Power Connectors & Battery Modular Terminals

I have used this tool to crimp 30 amp barrel-style and 45 amp flag-style Anderson pins. The flag-style pins needed a slight crimp with pliers before they would fit into the crimper. I don't know if this is just the fault of the pins I bought being slightly out of spec.In any case, all pins crimped properly using the appropriate position in the crimper. This appears to be a sturdy and reasonably well-made tool that is a good deal for the money.

After carefully researching, i opted for this tool for crimping power pole connectors. it has a plastic cup to push the power pole connector into for the correct positioning before crimping. the crimp die has the sizes for your typical power pole connectors. if you have ever used a ratcheting crimper, then I can say this is exactly s you would expect, .. works well at a good price.

I was hesitant about converting my power connections to power pole due to the price of everything, especially the crimpers. Since I've purchased these power pole crimpers, I've been converting everything over to power pole 15A and 30A. In ham radio, a good power connection can be the difference between making that long distance contact or not and these help. The guide on the side of the crimp head allow you to match the amperage build to the size of the crimping notch on the crimpers. Though be careful not to push the connector between the guide and the crimper, it bends the connector at a 90 degree angle and doesn't crimp anything. Other than my user error, this is a well made tool that has taken a few months of my abuse and hasn't bent or began showing issues.

It is well made and works perfectly, I recommend it.

Needed to crimp some powerpole connectors and these did the job perfectly. No need to buy expensive brand name crimpers unless you plan to crimp frequently. For small once and while jobs, these will work great.

I finally bought the "special tool" that makes life easy when making up powerpole connectors. In the past, I've borrowed a friend's actual Anderson crimper, but I've always thought "Oh well, I can do these with pliers and they work ok". If you are thinking the same way, spend the $ here and get these crimpers.I just made up some jumpers and power feeds for a project using 24 connectors. This device makes nice crimps and makes it SO EASY! And, I can't really tell if the Anderson crimpers were really any better. At about 50% more $$.Do yourself a favor and just buy it - you'll thank me later!

Makes a perfect crimp when assembling Anderson Poerpole connectors.

This tool improved my crimps more than imagined. Won't do without it.
