Knoweasy Powerpole Crimper, Amp Crimp Tool for 15, 30, and 45 Amp Connectors - Precision Powerpole Crimping Tool Compatible with Anderson Powerple Connectors for Reliable Electrical Connections

This was a great deal for the money. The crimpers are very well built and sturdy when used. They gave a very nice crimp. If I ever need to replace them, I would buy the same one again. But as well as they are made, that may take a while. when stripping the wire, be sure to only take off as much insulation as the crimp barrel is long, otherwise there is too much bare wire hanging out the back. I am very happy with them. Thank you. Michael

This is just such a nice crimper. As a ham, I've put together hundreds of power poles. I always solder them, because I've never found any normal crimper to work correctly. As an IT guy that used to do wiring, I have installed thousands of coax crimp connectors over the years. A full ratcheting crimp tool, with the right dies and right connectors is the fastest and most reliable way to terminate a connection. But everything has to match. This tool, with 14gauge stranded wire, and genuine powerpole connectors, works perfectly. The plastic holder at the end, that holds the pin and allows you to keep pressure on the wire into the pin works great. The ratcheting mechanism works great. If you use different connectors or different wire from what it's built for, it's not going to work...just solder them. But if you're putting together lots of these things this is the only way to go.

Great crimpers! Work perfectly.

This thing did the job. No drama, no wasted power poles, no pinched fingers, just a perfect crimp every timei used it, and it was the first time I had ever done Anderson power pole installation!

The Included Instructions on the Knoweasy Powerpole Crimper Package are Unreadable & Useless - The BAD News Ends Right About There. The Final Word will be Quickly... I haven't Named a Tool in Many a Year, However I had to Name This Set of Crimpers "Andy" so I remember what they are used for. Installing the Metal End in the Crimper Pocket First and then inserting the wire Before Crimping seems to Work Best on the Smaller Gauge Wire Sizes Used Most Often in Our Trade. The Durable Knoweasy Powerpole Crimpers Produce Reliable Factory Fresh Crimps Each & Every Time.... Quickly.

Plan on a little practice...

It's good. I'll say, as a very inexperienced powerpole crimper, I had struggles with 45amp crimps. They kept wanting to rotate before I could close the tool around them. My solution was to take pliers and just barely bend the connector like I was closing it.. ever so slightly. After that it crimped fine. Might be a me problem, Idk. But for the price it's great imo

I’ve had this crimped for several years and it works as expected. I’ve been very satisfied with it.

Tool works well and makes solid crimps. I'm a little fuzzy with where to place the crimp terminal within the tool but it actually doesn't seem to matter. Flush with the edge or bottomed out within the terminal holder work fine. Good tool.

Cumplió sobradamente mi espectativas, en mi caso es para uso ocasional, me da la impresión que los materiales son de buena calidad.

These crimps worked flawlellsy on some 15A power pole connectors - made making a secure connection so easy

Gute Zange zum Crimpen von Powerpole Steckern. Habe 30-A Steckverbinder bisher immer gelötet. Mit dieser Zange ist das eine echte Alternative.

Excelente, buen precio y útil
