Cool tool alert
« on: September 09, 2025, 01:30:17 pm »
I ordered one of these on Amazon for $16 and it just arrived
This is a really cool tool for attaching insulated terminals to the ends of wires
I just did a bunch of wires to test it and the results were a big thumbs up
I am using a screw terminal block for a project.

The four jaws on the tool all come in at one time and crush the terminals
you can see in my images the tool wide open and closed in the crush position

The metal tool itself is worth twice the price, plus you get 1250 terminals
Don't sleep on this tool while the price is down

Bought - I have some prototyping tube PCBs with terminals that this will come in clutch for.  Thanks for the tip!

The smaller white, gray and red terminals fit the 24 to 18 gauge wires I use more often
Not sure how many of the other sizes I would use

I did use one of the small black ones when I joined two wires, so those will probably get used also

Yep, got one a couple of years ago, an' been using it ever since.   They work great!  Now all of my stranded wire connections are neat and solid as a rock.

Cool looking tool. I'll have to check for a different source though. Maybe eBay?
I don't do Amazon but that's another ugly story.  :think1:  :cussing: :w2:
