A+ tool. But use these instructions

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

So I read the other reviews, and watched a few YouTube videos and honestly it does look like some folks aren't using it right.

There are NO instructions and that's where people are getting stuck

*** Hilitchi - I would suggest you include a YouTube showing how to use this properly and your reviews will be 5 stars*** I don't know why you haven't done this.

I'm going to post some photos soon to try help. I have 10 wire multi-conductor cable and it crimped all 10 with 2 mistakes made by by me. You have to follow the following steps (I may do an Instructable).

Your objective is to crimp
a) The insulation
b) The bare wire
Simultaneously

I was using the below kit (Hilitchi 520Pcs 2.5mm)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0188DMF3A/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Its a small connector, so it uses the smallest crimp valley.

For the female side
===============
1. Push the outer pins in with your nails or a pliers so that they are straight
2. Do a test by feeding the wire into the uncrimped connector, make sure the insulation is going to be crimped by the 1st set of wings and does not extend into the wire crimp section, the bare wire should only be crimped by the second set of wings
3. Place the connector into the smallest crimp "U" socket with the wings facing down and the flat part touching the crimp die
4. Feed the wire in so that you can see it come in contact with the connector face (barely)
5. Crimp it hard till you hear it click 2-3 times

That's it you should be able to pull it and it won't come part

6. Feed the crimped connector into the female side so that the little "catcher" goes into the tiny channel and pops out the other side and catches the plastic (so can see this happening if you can't it's in the wrong way round)

7. Done!

Everything worked perfectly when I did this. It is a great tool as far as I can tell.

An instruction sheet would be helpful. There were no included instructions and I ended up watching numerous videos on YouTube before I found one for these types of crimpers. The pins are loaded backward from how I expected them to load and are more suited for left handed use as a result. Kind of awkward but they get the job done nicely.

I've used a lot of crimp tools in my 31 years of engineering and this one works very positively. It's a little tricky to get the pins in, but one seated accurately you get good connections to wires. It crimps both wire and insulation at the same time. Cheaper tools require two phases, one for the wire and a second for the insulation. This one does both at the same time. Construction is very husky and well built. I think this will least quite a long time. I'm very happy with it.

Great product, read these instructions first

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

After experimenting and failing a few times, I came to the reviews and was disheartened to see so many people reporting a defective product. But there amongst the darkness, there was light!

KITT Eire posted some great instructions and now I'm crimping as good as Honnold. Here's his review:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R33P6EKOV16O8U/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B016B39EPQ

Major takeaways:
1. Straighten the wings with fingers or pliers (they should be perpendicular to the flat bottom of the connector
2. Place the connector upside down in the crimping tool, so that the flat bottom is facing up toward the teeth of the tool
3. Strip just enough wire so that the insulation is grabbed by the first set of wings but not the second set.
4. For the female connectors (that have sort of boxes on the ends), DO NOT CRIMP THE BOX. Additionally, there is a small tab sticking out of the bottom of these boxes, make sure that doesn't get crimped down either.

If the female piece isn't sitting snugly inside the plastic holder, the bottom tab is likely bent down. You can bend it back out very slightly and try again until it sits nicely. It should catch and 'lock' into place as you press it in.

This crimping tool is identified in Hilitchi's information included with the pins. This crimper will not work properly with the pins. Turned many pins to junk, watched several YouTube videos, and its still junk. Would not recommend it.

First time crimper, crimping like a pro

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2020

Took a couple times to get the hang of it, but it does a great job. The top reviews, especially from KITT Eire, were far more helpful than the "instructions" included. After a couple of times the light bulb came on and I realized what the ratcheting does, it allows you to securely hold the terminal in the crimper so you can feed the wire into it with one hand and crimp with the other. Thanks to the kind folks who spent the time to give instructions to the rest of us!

Works but not perfectly

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

Works well for me for DuPont and JST after a bit of practice, much faster and more reliable than faking it with other crimpers or pliers. If the DuPont doesn’t fit together easily after making, give the crimped wire a gentle squeeze with some needle-nose pliers to re-round the connector and it’s likely to be perfect (my method after practice). You probably could get crimps that make a perctly shaped crimp, but I bet you’d pay a lot more.

Not perfect for dupont connectors but still very useable. The strain relief crimps aren't ideal but are easy to adjust with a pair of pliers to get them to slide in and out of the bodies cleanly. You need to adjust the strain reliefs as described in other reviews which is totally common with crimpers using the same type of jaw.
