Wirefy Crimping Die for Heat Shrink Butt Connectors - 22-8 AWG

Easy to use, and I like that it is a ratcheting tool. Leaves nice, neat, tight crimps on insulated terminals without damaging the insulation. Used it to re-terminate the wires on a replacement igniter for my pellet stove and the connector crimps leave me confident I won't have any problems with the electrical connection.

This is an extremely awesome set, especially if you buy the add on dies. Whether you’re crimping basic eyelet terminals or building a whole stand alone engine harness, this set can do it. These get a good strong crimp and makes the whole job easy and fast.

This crimping tool has quickly become a staple in my DIY toolkit. This ratcheting wire crimper is incredibly efficient, providing a secure and reliable crimp every time. The ratcheting mechanism ensures consistent pressure, making it easy to achieve professional-quality crimps without much effort.One of the standout features is the ergonomic design. The handles are comfortable and reduce hand fatigue, even during extended use. The tool is well-constructed and feels durable, which gives me confidence that it will last through many projects. The adjustable crimping pressure is also a great feature, allowing for precise adjustments based on the connector size and type.The only minor downside is that it takes a bit of practice to get the hang of the ratcheting mechanism, but once you do, it makes the crimping process much more efficient and consistent.I think this crimping tool is an excellent investment for any DIY enthusiast. Its reliability, ease of use, and high-quality results make it a must-have tool for anyone working with electrical connectors. Highly recommended for its performance and durability.

So I first purchased a Titan 11950 7pc crimper set. I have used it quite a bit and really really like it. I had also purchased a couple of extra dies and needed some other that were not specifically offered by/for the Titan. That is how I found the Wirefy product line. I bought 7 additional Wirefy dies and the 9” crimper handle. I was initially concerned if the dies would interchange with the Titan crimper. They seem to interchange without issue. I have not performed many crimps with them, yet it seems so far to be a good addition. I bought the crimper handle to add an additional to my tool box and to have the heavier duty option. It feels good in the hand and operates smoothly. It would be an excellent addition to any tool kit. With all of my new found dies and the additional frame I had outgrown my original blow molded case. I upgraded to a Plano 3500 series box. Plano model number 2375002. It is a clear plastic box most often associated with fishing tackle. The one I chose has a wide section at the bottom that accommodates the crimper frames (both fit and the lid closes) as well as all of the dies I now have. There is not a space for each individual die set but it is very manageable. I mention this because there was some question as to if the case that Wirefy offers would accommodate the larger frame.Lastly I included a photo of the Titan frame, the 9” Wirefy frame and my older Paladin 1300 crimper. I read in another review that the 9” was the same as the Paladin with the exception of the quick change feature. My particular model is not as such and is a closer match to the Titan frame. The grips are quite a bit beefier and seem far more comfortable than the Paladin tool.Final thoughts are, if have you have Titan product here is a good source for additional dies. If you want to get a frame and single set of dies, this is a very good option and if you want the heavier larger frame, I wouldn’t hesitate.

I own a professional style wire stripper tool from the Irwin brand, and it does an excellent job of stripping wire. I've been using the crimper portion of that tool to do said crimps as well. Unfortunately, it doesn't always do a perfect job crimping, and it requires an abnormal amount of force applied, to make the crimp. It was time to step up to a professional style crimper, from the Wirefy brand.Obviously, for this price, this tool is 100% Chinese made. A truly American, German, or Japanese brand industrial ratcheting crimper tool, would cost you hundreds of dollars! If you look at the picture I have uploaded, showing the end of the crimper jaw, you can clearly see QC issues in regards to the metal quality. OK, so I have established that the quality of metal might be sub-par, but how does it perform?The good news is, it performs awesome! This was my first time using this style of crimper, so I was having issues at first, until I learned the best way to do it. My best advice, is to put the terminal connector in the jaw first, then begin crimping down till the metal jaw is just touching the terminal. (Don't crush it yet!) Then put the wire into the terminal, then start crimping the terminal and wire together, and then use both hands to make it easier.Once the crimp is made, the tool releases, and I felt I was left with a quality crimp. On all of the crimping jobs I did using fully insulated terminals, not one of them did the wire pull out! The tool has some heft to it, so it does have a heavy duty feel. The ratcheting mechanism seems to work well, and its not as loud as some other's I've heard, in people's Youtube video's. The handle has a good grip as well, the tool never slipped out of my hands.When the tool is in the closed position with the jaw empty, I can confirm what other's have said, it can be hard to push that little latch, to open the tool. But I still managed to do it anyways, so its not that big of an issue. So far I haven't had any issues with this tool, and I am going to have to recommend it with a solid 5 out of 5 stars!
