This is just a stamp, you cannot crimp with this tool alone. It is almost useless in situe as it required a press in order to work.

This is one of those tools that make the job a simple one accomplished in a minute or two and the result is spot on.

I purchased this tool after deciding I could not go the cost of fancy hexagonal crimper for the dozen or so lugs I wanted to crimp. As I could assemble pretty much all my cables in the workshop, this tool was ideal. I used both alternative methods of compressing the tool (bench vice and club hammer) to compare results and they both created excellent solid crimps. I preferred the vice method just because it was easier to keep the cable located in the lug during the set up. Used to crimp some 10mm2 and 16mm2 cable/lugs. Will easily do bigger but would not suggest smaller.

I'm always sceptical of 'consumer quality' tools, but this crimper isn't one. It produces good strong crimps with ease. Well done 12V Planet for improving the battery connections on my boat
12V Planet were also helpful when I asked for advice on other products. Good service.

Does the job by hard to use ‘in situ’ due to the need to hammer quite forcefully. If you’re just doing a few crimps and can take the wires out then no problem but if you can afford a handheld crimper then best go for that.

brilliant tool which does exactly want you want.

Tried it on up to 16sqmm, works fine. Might struggle on really heavy stuff. Needs a decent anvil to stand on. Helpful to crimp twice over full length of terminal.

This really is simple but effective. It works exactly as expected and for low volume use will be just the ticket. Plenty cheaper than the handled options!

A quality tool that works well

Never used anything like this before but the video on 12v planet website was very helpful and it worked really great using a hammer. I would have preferred to use a vice but mine wasn't big enough to fit it in but the hammer worked fine. I did a pull test on the terminasl afterwards and they were crimped solid so all good.
