Weather-pak Crimp tool?
Weather-pak Crimp tool? Looking to add one of these to my tool box. Any advice? Some crimp all in on motion, others require two crimps, some have interchangable anvils/dies/jaws others don't. Prices seem to be around $50 and up. Only want to spend the money once.
Thanks

If it's just your car, then the (blue handle) $50 compound version works great! If you are doing production work then it might make sense to spend the extra money.
Just finished my LQ9 into a Jeep with lots of electronics and once I got the hang of it, the connections were easy.
Good luck!

That is a nice tool, and it may be hard to tell from the pics, but I don't see the correct die for the weatherpacks. Look at this guy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Weath...m360055252857&
I believe it is the die in the right middle picture. It has an A on the upper die and 1.5 & 2.5 on the lower die. I bought the same set you have posted at Napa. I just like the racheting crimpers a bit better.
Casper's Electronics it's ~$31 and has handled all of my 12ga & 18ga connectors without any problems.

I have the MSD crimpers they have interchangeable heads for doing diffrent projects.They come with the crimping jaws for doing spark plug wires but i bought the jaws for dong weathertite connectors.Best pro crimping tool ive used.
That looks like a good entry level tool. Did you go with weather pak or metri pak for the terminals? The tool appears to do both. I am thinking the metri-pak is the more currentl technology?
