A tool of this type is just about essential for doing quality crimps. It is very sturdy and unlikely to break under even the hardest of use. Once you've squeezed the handle all the way home, you've created a crimp that is unlikely to fail.

However, it is not the perfect tool. First, although the tool 'ratchets,' that only means it will hold its place should you ease your grip. You can't make it close by repeatedly squeezing. Does this matter? Yes, if you're working in a confined space (like a boat). With the jaw wide open as you're approaching the connector it is quite bulky and can be hard to maneuver.

Second, there is no way to get it to release once you've started. Once the ratchet engages, you're committed! If the tool isn't in the correct place, too bad, you're going to ruin an expensive connector.

Still, all of these ratcheting crimpers have similar limitations. This one is at least very sturdy and makes reliable, high-quality crimps.

This tool works well puts a very secure connection on marine wire fittings. Directions are there for which wire end to use in which slot.

I've probably made 800 crimps or so with this tool and every single one of them was as perfect and easy as the first. Tool makes clean tight crimps every time. It's a little pricey for a crimper but worth the price.
