Klein Tools 80013 Wire Stripper / Ratcheting Crimper, Electrical Crimping Tool Kit with Automatic Wire Stripper and Ratcheting Insulated Terminal Crimper, 2-Piece

Works like it should.

Greatly improves my confidence in crimping two wires. Don’t feel worried at all about wires coming loose. The strip tool is great too, for a nice clean straight cut.

I haven't used the stripper because I have one that I'm happy with so it's a back up for now. The crimper however, it awesome. I've used it a handful of times on electrical jobs and I can't just pull the connectors right off anymore!

The Klein brand has made a good name for themselves. Their stripping and crimping tools both seem to be made with precision engineering in regards to every aspect of the tools. I wound consider them to be lifetime tools. I installed my new car stereo and had over a dozen wires to strip. I used to use a basic wire stripping and crimping tool, which made the job look amateurish and left me with sketchy connections. The Klein tools made the job 10x easier and left the wires looking professionally done and with more assured connections. My only regret is not getting these tools sooner.

Crimper is great, but recommend adjusting as it should be easy to fully crimp. See alot of videos where people have to use 2 hands to crimp and that means crimper is set too tight and you're actually over crimping. Back off setting so you can crimp single handed. Then just double check you can't pull wire out of the crimped connector and you'll have a quick, EASY way to crimp. Once set, you'll crimp faster, easier, and more correctly than any other crimping tool. Wire strippers work great, no trying to find right hole, like on old strippers. Just squeeze and it strips any wire size perfectly. Only knock is if you want to use the depth gauge, it doesn't seem to want to stay tight. But you can use it without that gauge. If depth gauge stayed tight after tightening it I would have given tool set 5 stars. Crimper is 5 star.

I’ve always tried to get by with cheapie strippers and crimpers. I recently was doing some intricate work on my vehicle and my old tools were making the job harder. My son happened to stop in to check on my project and told me to chuck those department store tools out and order what he used on the job. He looked it up, I ordered the 2 items and what a difference a professional tool makes. Precise stripping of wires and color coded crimpers to install the connectors on any automotive wire. I don’t know why I waited so long. Good hefty tools, well made and a superior brand name. Klein

This product i say has been extremely valuable for applying butt connections the crimp strength is plenty sufficient. I have put this product through the ringer working as a diesel tech. Klein tools are known for there electrical tools and these do not disappoint. I would say a small setback would be the ability to fit into small spaces, a bit bulky but work well.

Worked flawlessly. The set is an effective combination. You will need a firm grip to make the perfect crimp.
