HKS Battery Cable Lug Crimping Tool 10-1 AWG, 60Pcs Copper Ring Terminals & 60Pcs 3:1 Heat Shrink Tubing, Heavy Duty Wire Crimper Set for Battery Cables

Works like it should. Match up the dies to the connectors and crimp them. I had no problems. One crimp and it was on. Not sure what everyone means it takes multiple times. Highly recommend for the price of name brand it does just as good.

Works great. Nice to have some extra fittings.

I've read a few bad reviews on these and I agree I do get the issue with it fanning out when you crimp but if you flip it around and crimp the fanned out sides then it looks very good. This has worked for me every time i do a bigger wiring job and the crimps seem solid to me, I don't have very many complaints although from reading other reviews quality may vary from piece to piece.

Good kit to own just in case

This is a nice set of copper crimp lugs with tools and shrink tube. On one project I'm running 30 amps through them and I took an IR photo of the connection after 1/2 hour. Running very cool. Better than the factory crimps on another part of the equipment carrying the same current. Just hope it's not too hard to find compatible lugs when I run out of the ones in the set.

Arrived a little late by two days. But the quality of the tools were better than I thought they would be.

Great value

I bought this to crimp some screw terminals to the end of some braided steel cable. I didn't need heavy duty load bearing crimps, so this was an economical solution, especially since it came with an assortment of lugs.For 1/8" cable, the 10ga (size 6) die is the best. But after several tries, I still haven't figured out the trick to getting clean crimps without creating "wings" where the dies meet. If you try to rotate the lug and re-crimp to push them back in, it just creates some going the other way. Perhaps some better quality lugs would make a difference, or maybe a true 10ga copper wire would work better.It is a little awkward to get started unless the cable fits really snug in the lug. You almost need 3 hands: 1 to hold the cable in the lug and two to squeeze the tool. I find I can manage ok if I rest the tool on a table so I only need one hand on the tool while I hold the cable with the other. It may also work if you (carefully) hold the cable in a vise or something so you can just concentrate on working the tool.The good news is they seem to hold ok. I can't pull the cable out even though I'm sure they weren't designed with stainless cable in mind. I just use pliers to flatten the wings as best I can then shrink tube covers the sins.As for the cable cutters...umm...not great. They are a little stiff out of the box, but working them back and forth and adding a little machine oil to the pivot helped that problem. The bigger issue is that they appear to be made of some very soft steel. They might work ok on aluminum or copper wire, but anything harder and the cutter *will* be damaged. Definitely not for braided steel cable. (guess how I know) It pretty much just flattened the edge where it contacted the steel while the cable remained unharmed. I was able to salvage it somewhat with a file and some patience, but lesson learned: Only the soft stuff.So overall, 3 stars. The price was reasonable and it met my immediate needs. If I was getting cleaner crimps and the cutter was more durable, it could be a 5 star tool.
