Tools and Hardware Reviews of S & G Tool Aid 18920 Ratcheting Terminal Crimping Kit- 5 Piece
Customer Review: Does NOT crimp Weatherpack connectors properly
Summary: 1 Stars
This tool was advertised as having a die suitable for Weatherpack style connectors. This is not correct. The dies may work fine for standard open barrel terminals where the secondary crimp is only on the wire insulation, but it does not work on the Weatherpack. The Weatherpack requires a large circular secondary crimp so as to hold the weather seal in place. This tool does a roll crimp, not a circular crimp and it completely crushes the terminal and weather seal.
I did not use the other dies and can't comment on how well they might work. The dies are not polished highly as are higher quality tools. I returned this and bought a tool that really does crimp Weatherpack terminals correctly - 12014254 Ratchet Crimping Weatherpack Weather Pack Crimper Tool from Amazon vendor Performance Plus Connection. This tool has highly polished dies, a fixture to hold the terminal in proper alignment and the correct circular crimp to hold the weather seal properly in place.

Summary: 5 Stars
This tool allows the user to guarantee that each crimp made applies the exact same pressure each and every time. When your are working on aviation equipment this is a regulatory requirement. A ratcheting crimping device is the only way to ensure you meet the regulatory requiremnt. I have used this tool to crimp insulated connections for an aircraft project and it does exactly what I need it to do every time.
Just follow the instructions and you will have an air worthy crimp.
I especially like the interchangable anvils, this increases this tools utility tremendously.
This is a great tool.
Customer Review: Racheting crimp tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product to crimp electrical connections on a well pump cable. I first tested the crimper on a few pieces of cable and was very pleased with the result. Since then I have also used this tool to crimp eyebolt and butt connectors on my boat. All of the connections come out perfect without damageing any of the plastic insulation (actually also crimps the plastic part). I dont know how I made it without this tool.Customer Review: Great product that has exceeded my expectations.
Summary: 4 Stars
I did not expect this crimper to perform nearly as well as it has. The jaws are very easy to change out for different terminal ends. The inside of the case is labeled well to let the user know which jaw is needed. I have crimped non-insulated terminals on #10AWG with minimal fuss. The ratcheting mechanism and jaws have performed flawlessly. I give this one an A+.Customer Review: excellent buy
Summary: 4 Stars
The tool itself gets 5 stars, but overall loses a star because of packaging. This tool crimps very well and gives pro results but once the dies are removed from their plastic storage positions in the box, it becomes a challenge to store them all again.
This is a minor annoyance at home while inspecting the tool but on the job site this becomes a problem.
