iCrimp SN-01BM Ratchet Wire Cable Crimping Pliers Tool 0.08-0.5mm² for Dupont PH2.0 XH2.54 KF2510 JST Molex D-SUB Terminal

Was planning to purchase the Paladin die for JST-XH for my paladin crimper, but it was on back order and this was cheaper than just the Paladin die....and i really needed to get on with finishing some crimps. Was really surprised with the quality. Solid feeling, smooth operation and ratcheting that helps to hold the pin firm whilst you insert the wire and then crimps perfectly without crushing. Not much more to say really...does the job, makes the job easy and is built to last. Definitely recommend!

Pros Decent crimping action Easy to operate Decent grips Cons A little pricey Limited crimping options I needed some JST 2.0 Crimpers, and there came onto my radar. I picked them up, and after a bit of messing around I got them crimping my connections Overall they did a decent job and held the connector well. The finish was excellent, and the wires were all secure. These are a little pricey as they don't offer many options for different crimping bits. They do not have interchangeable teeth which is a shame, but what teeth they do have are decent.

Because I didn't read the descriptions I ended up receiving the wrong one. As it turned out the one I received worked well for Molex lose crimps so I kept it and re-orded the JST version. The moral of the story is read carefully what you are buying. I am not sure I am using the JST tool correctly but you need a knack that comes with doing ten or so crimps. You can crimp directly from the strip of crimps and use the edge of the backing material as the alignment face. I have had more success by breaking out the crimps and using them loose. I use a small darning needle in a handle/holder which I partially insert into the socket end of the loose crimp. This grips the crimp and allows it to be rotated and so you can push it into the face of the tool so the small retaining tab acts as a stop. Once located the jaws can be partially closed and the wire inserted. I'm sure others will have different ways of doing it. For the price and for the number of crimps I am likely to do in my remaining life time it is a good price and more than good enough quality.

I needed a reliable crimper for small non-insulated connections and this IWISS tool is great and delivered by Amazon the next day through the letterbox. Previously I'd bought a cheaper generic SN-28B tool but even when using the correct connections the crimps I was making were failing and not formed correctly so I was wasting a lot of connectors. Buy cheap buy twice I guess. I've had IWISS tools in the past and initially missed this one when buying the SN-28B but gave it a go as the previous tool wasn't very good. Immediately the same set of non-insulated connectors I've been using are formed better on both the bit holding the cable insulation and the smaller part crimping the wire and most importantly aren't failing in the pull test or giving me random continuity problems. There's a bit too much wire in the cable in the pictures and I've also shown the size next to a pen - these are little so just a mm too long makes quite a difference! You also get some good instructions with these whereas a lot of crimpers you'll be left to your own devices to work it out (although they all have their own pitfalls, it just takes time to get used to each set). For me definitely worth paying that little extra over the generic crimpers if you value your time - these aren't as expensive as proper Molex crimps but still seem to do a more than good enough job. Thanks IWISS!

Works well for me, much much easier than manually crimping.

I bough these pliers to make cables for Dupont connectors. Had to look for a few youtube videos to learn how to properly use these, but overall the quality is very good, the ratcheting mechanism works well and they are generally a pleasant experience to use. Considering the price, for a hobbyist like me, I wouldn't look anywhere else. I even purchased new adapters for these pliers so I can crimp other connectors.

I use Dupont male and female header pins quite a lot and the crimp tool I have works well. They are quite long and not keyed so the JST-XH2.54 can be quite useful. I would use them more but... They are tiny and the Dupont tool is too wide so I end up doing each one with a small jewellery crimper, bit of a pain if you need to do several. Despite searching for a suitable ratchet crimp tool, one wasn't available. Many that claim to be were IMO unsuitable. All that has changed with the IWiSS XH2, the main problem with other crip tools is that the jaws are too wide, these are the perfect width. I haven't used XH2.0 pins yet but if the results of the XH2.54 are anything to go by, they should be perfect too. If you haven't used a ratchet crimper and are wondering why "ratchet"? After inserting the pin, gently ratchet closed until the pin is held securely. Now you can insert the wire, once in place squeeze and the jobs done. The jaws are a tiny bit too narrow for Dupont 2.54 pins, but a 2nd crimp would do the bit that was missed, or finish with jewellery crimps which I usually have to do anyway. So if you use both types of crimps and only want one set of crimpers, these would work well.

For the terminals this is designed to crimp, it is an excellent tool. Very smooth action and the dual-level dies mean the wire and sleeve get crimped properly in one action. Naturally, being a ratchet action, every crimp is formed exactly the same. The downside is that this is not the tool for very small Molex and JST crimps. A Molex Picoblade gets completely destroyed and I suspect a similarly sized JST would too. In fact, anything 1mm wide or less than 4mm from the cable end to the start of the contact will be trashed by this.

I have all three of these crimpers and I recommend that plan. I can always find a fit in one of the tools and the quality is good enough that I have gotten to the point that I almost never mess up crimps anymore. I have not done any of the tiny 1mm JST crimps but everything else has worked well. I just keep all of them in the same place and I can always find the best fit. With the right size you wont damage the pin (especially the retention barbs) As long as I don't lose these I will probably never have to buy another crimper in my life time. Well worth the price and I heard enough recommendations from the 3d printing community that I was confident that I was making a good purchase. And they were right. I also recommend a lighted desk magnifier since you don't appreciate how hard crimping can be on the eyes without one. If you have to crimp something (avoid it if you can) these are just right.

Attrezzo ben fatto e funzionale, robusto. Ormai sono più di 4 mesi che lo uso quotidianamente al lavoro e a confronto di quelli super costosi che già abbiamo la differenza è praticamente nulla. Bell’acquisto. Lo riprenderei un’altra volta.

Après plusieurs essais de divers outils de sertissage avec des résultats très moyen, cette pince est top pour les connecteurs Dupont et JST, a recommander sans problème.

This is the first crimp tool I've used where every crimp turned out perfect. Need I say more?

Crimpzange zum Austausch nicht mehr guter Crimpungen. Die Zange ist solide gebaut und liegt gut in der Hand - Wenn man berücksichtigt das man die Crimpschuhe richtig herum reinlegen muss, ist das Ergebnis auch gut. Eine Zangenbackenseite ist enger als die andere, was bei Fehlbenutzung dazu führt das das eingelegte Kabel abgeknickt/abgekniffen wird.
