Perfect crimps every time. However, I did have to loosen the adjustment wheel one notch clockwise in order to get the tool to release the crimped terminals. I received no instructions with my crimper. Fortunately I've used similar crimpers enough to know how they work. I thought I'd include some instructions for those of you that haven't:
It should take one-hand to run the crimper down to the last "click" then two hands (or one really strong hand) to squeeze the last click out of the ratchet and release the terminal. If you are able to do the whole thing one handed, you may not be getting a good cold weld of the joint, in which case you need to adjust it tighter by turning the adjustment wheel one notch at a time Counter-Clockwise.
Conversely, if the terminals aren't releasing even after completely compressing the handles until they touch, you need to loosen the crimp one notch at a time Clockwise until it does. You will not be able to adjust the wheel while it is stuck in the crimped state. You will need to press the shiny metal lever located in the handle, just below the adjustment wheel in order to manually release the ratchet. You may need to use a hard object like a flat bladed screwdriver to press hard enough on the lever to get it to release, depending on how much tension is on it. Then take the set-screw out, make the adjustment, reinstall the set screw, and re-try the crimp.
If desired, you can use the other set screw hole to fine-tune the adjustment knob by a half-notch.

I really like these crimpers. I have worked with a lot of high cost namebrand crimpers and these work just as good as any of them. They crimp the connectors evenly and completely. I test every crimp by pulling on the wire afterwards and haven't had a single one pull out or even move and I have performed hundreds of crimps. If you lightly clamp down on a connector to hold it and then for some reason need to open the crimpers up, it can be tricky to push down on the little silver metal tab under one of the handles but doing so will release the positive ratcheting feature and allow the crimpers to open up all the way. These crimpers are more bulky around the head than basic crimp pliers so on rare occasions I can't get this crimper to fit into a tight spot. Those situations call for the old school piercing type crimper pliers and using them occassionaly reminds you how much physical exertion it takes to do a good crimp with those types. It also reminds you how ugly those crimps look compared to the crimps this ratcheting crimper does. I dont anticipate having to replace this anytime soon.
