Crimping tool

[nicebutdim]

You are out of your mind
What is that set?

Would you advise that car dealerships buy £10 diagnostic scanners from ebay, rather than use thousands of pounds worth of manufacturer's equipment?

Should those car dealerships provide cheap jacks and axle stands for their mechanics, rather than expensive ramps?

Would you advise a chef to ditch their expensive knives, because they could buy knives from a pound shop?

With respect, there are tools and there are tools. I'm not an electrician, so wont tell electricians what tools they should or should not use, but any one who uses a tool regularly will know what is up to a particular job and what is not.

I have a variety of tools. Some were cheap and some were not. Some of those cheap tools are junk and some are reasonably decent. If I need a tool for a one off job, I may well go for the cheapest option that is fit for the purpose for which I need it. If I'm buying a tool that's going to be used regularly, chances are I'll buy something that will do the job and also last a significant period of time.

In your shoes, I wouldn't try arguing against years of combined knowledge about a task you've never completed successfully. Maybe when you've managed several thousand secure crimps, using a €5 tool, you might be in a better position to denounce more expensive options. Until then, I'm inclined to agree with those voices of experience.

It's more worth for the price you paid then you would pay for Ferrari.

No, I think he just sees it from a very limited perspective and can't see how others see it.

I am pretty sure some acceptable ratchet crimps would be available locally if they looked around, after all in the UK (which is not a cheap country by any standard) you can get them in major DIY places for under 20 Euro, not the 50 Euro mentioned.

I have bought tools and test equipment from £10 to £15,000 that others would see as pointless, but they let me do specialised work that ended up bringing in far more revenue so to me they were worth it.

I did post link to rachets that are just for insulated connectors that I think are acceptable for 22 Euros, but people are convincing me that I should ---- away 85 pounds for an object that is so ridicoulosly overpriced that I still can't believe that others are blind of how much smarter that many can be spent.

I don't give a damn if they cost 10 or 1000 pounds if they do job correctly.
I go to authorised as to local service that doesn't have expensive equipment, and I am happy how they repair my car.

Authorised car dealers here offer both OEM and non-OEM parts for cars that are both fine, only difference is that OEM part cost 10x more. You won't see a difference.

Would you advise a chef to ditch their expensive knives, because they could buy knives from a pound shop?

I eat at both expensive and non-expensive restaurants, I don't care about knives but whether is meal good, and let me tell you, non-expensive restaurants with cheap knives often surprise me a bit.

Do you mean post #17 ?

That would be good for the type of terminals it is designed for, but that is not the insulated style you were asking about!

Apologies - I missed that as no in-line image present to make it obvious.

Yes, they should do the job OK. So if you ever need to use other insulated style crimp connections (e.g. the 1/4" push-on terminals, etc) then go for that.

Finally someone agrees to my crimps. Thank you.

At the risk of dragging this saga out even more, I would suggest that most decent car repair garages are likely to use Snap On socket sets than a twenty quid Ebay bargain. Just saying.

So crimping tools ratchet or non ratchet

I had a workmate we called "RATCHET" he wouldn't take the hint either.

It is a set from Klauke,bought for a specific job,which more than amply,paid for them...(happy days)

They have more than justified their lofty position,in me tool safe,and have done allsorts,including lots of DC work,and recently,i adapted them to crimp up 100 trailer brake safety lanyards,in bowden cable.

This particular short-notice gig,at a plant outfit,got me paid with a faulty generator,which i threw £300 at,and a days work,and sold for £2000.

.....That £600 is looking a bargain,now,aint it?

For some it's the bookies,drink,cars,party-products....even anvils (....another story),but i have always liked quality tools....sometimes a need,sometimes a want...

I can justify owning every tool i have,i reckon....but i could never,get 4 pages out of a ten pound crimp ....

There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, d...…..

I wonder how far we can stretch this thread to?
