Okay == I'm not explaining why I think this tool is so far superior.... I have many crimpers... but this one is DIFFERENT.

Here's better pics of the tool -- the main difference between this one and the other one I have is that this new tool has a "HOLDER" for the terminal -- and you can stick the terminal in the holder and then insert the wire/boot without having to close the crimper etc... this way you can actually see what you're doing (since the jaws remain open and out of your way)...

My other crimper - has to clamp down on the terminal in order to hold it - doing this puts the jaws in your way so you can't see -- and if you close them too hard then it's hard to insert the boot - and if you don't clamp it hard enough to hold it - you end up pushing the terminal out the other side - and or ruining the crimp...





With terminal "loaded in" tool
