Tool Question

[Dougal95]

Hi guys
Didn't know where to post this, so here seems as good a place as any...
I'm sick of throwing money at cheap, and even not so cheap build tools, which either fail after VERY short time or, worse still, being not fit for purpose in the first place.
My current gripe is with terminal crimpers. I once had a fantastic Japanese ratchet crimper with interchangeable die heads, meaning just ONE tool for every job! That, along with all my other tools, we're stolen by some *********
I bought a similar tool only to discover it was useless (inacurrate) dies.
Can anyone recommend a GOOD quality crimper with interchangeable dies?
It MUST be able to crimp molex and other open barrel connectors.
Any help SERIOUSLY AND MUCH appreciated.

you will find what you need here, the prices are high compared to the stuff you see on ebay but you get a 12 months overclockers warranty

I use a Paladin crimpALL frame in work primarily for coax but you can buy the different dies to do everything from uninsulated terminals to RJ45. Not very cheap but compared to the likes of a proper molex or tyco branded tool, it’s very good value and has survived a lot of use. A cheaper alternative I’ve come across is a Korean manufacturer called Pro’sKit and the paladin dies fit their frame perfectly.
