This is one of the few tools I carry in my car. It is very useful and replaces separate strippers, crimpers, small bolt cutters, fuse pullers, and wire snips.

I have purchased similar tools like this in the past, but they did not have the cushoned handle, good quality construction, and they did not strip small gauge wire like the Leviton here.

This tool is essential for any typical automotive electrical work... from adding fog lights, new dash illumination, boost gauges, etc. It has the leverage to crimp connectors quite well. With some practice, you can get a solid connection. For critical connections you can use bare metal connectors; crimp them for a good mechanical fit, then solder it.

Since it is a "combo" tool, there are some drawbacks. The wire cutter is on the inside between the handles. This limits the usefulness in tight places. If the cutter was intergrated on the working end, this tool would be perfect.

Still a great value.
