iCrimp Wire Rope Crimping Tool for Aluminum Loop Sleeve, Two Barrel Ferrule, Oval Sleeves, 3/64 in to 1/8 in, Swaging Tool Kit with Wire Rope Cutter

Works great for what I needed it for, it is a little hard to close as I am 60 years old

I am a theatrical technical director and have used many brands of crimpers and cutters. I used this set to rig three productions so far and counting. That's dozens of cuts and crimps. This thing is wonderful. It's compact size is easier for me to get in tight or high places. Although, the shorter handles do require a bit more force. Not a problem for me but, may be for others. If you are using this crimper for structural or flying purposes I have two points. You should be using a go-no go gauge, as often as you can. This thing does NOT come with one. (It should). That said, I have a few spare gauges and this crimper works very well. It's way easier to adjust as well. The second point is, I've read some of the reviews and it is clear that many people don't know how wire rope accessories work. Not all swaging sleeves are rated. Not all wire rope is alike. The markings on the tool are clear. I/8th inch refers to the diameter of the wire rope. You should educate yourself or leave it to the professionals, you run the risk of injury or worse. The cutters are tricky, here is a trade secret. If you use the cutters properly, they will last a long time. Seriously, as with any of these cutters, if you don't keep the tool perpendicular to the wire rope when cutting force is applied, you will trap the individual wires in the rope. This widens the pivot which lossens the tool and makes cutting impossible. But that is user error. All of these cutters behave this way including felco. Just pay attention and enjoy.

Before ordering this product, I did have reservations about the quality of the tools. After receiving and using the tools, I found them abundantly adequate. I completed my project of hanging my shade sails with no difficulty and I look forward to using these tools for many years in the future. I am completely happy with this purchase.

I got this set for a specific job and to add to my collections. I'm happy with the value. The cutter works great. Easy to cleanly cut 1/8" cable even with one hand The crimper is a compromise between size and available leverage. It takes effort to start the compression, but I could do it. Longer handles would make it easier but take more space and be awkward in tight situations. Aircraft cable is springy and it takes a little planning to get the crimper on the ferrule and the ferrule on the cable in the correct place, but with patience, it can be done and the results look professional. In summary it is a good value for useful tools.

Works! Takes a lot of strength with the crimper. Very difficult to do over your head like I had to do, lol.

Used these to install some cables for bird netting. Worked great.

I never used this tool before. I love it! its easy to use and the video helped a lot.

This is a well built tool that will do a good job for general purpose use in crimping ferrules to smaller wire rope assemblies. I used it to make crimps on 1/8" standard wire rope, and it worked well for the 24 or so crimps I had to do for my project. In my opinion, if you're doing professional cable assembly it might be best to spend a bit more on a tool that will stand up to heavy use. The cutter tool included did well cutting 1/8" wire rope, no complaints there. Well made combo for the price paid.

The ones recieved are excellent quality

Well made. The mechanical advantage of these crimpers makes for short work of crimping tasks.

Good. Light weight. Cutters work well out of the box.

Les deux outils font bien le travail requis, la qualité semble bonne pour le moment.

I had a chance to put then to work and they preformed exceptionally well crimps are perfect the cutter works great used it on cable up to an 1/8👍👍
