Makes nice crimps
Seems to make a solid crimp for loudspeaker and other small electrical crimps. Also purchased the different jaw size. Useful for lots of small electrical and audio projects.

Genuinely the best crimper available in the UK for molex pins
Genuinely the best crimper available in the UK for molex pins, excluding the genuine molex crimper as it costs £400. while you may need to crimp twice compared to other crimpers on the market, it doesn't actually take much longer, and its the perfect crimp every time. If you make custom wiring for PC, I would definitely recommend this tool, it may take a while to get used to, but the quality is much better. The cutter is also very handy, and works well as a stripper too.

great for jst ph2.0
much better that the hozan 707 for smaller connectors like jst ph2.0, the hozan was very problematic for those. This one is perfect.

It IS a precision crimper
Does the job, pricisely. Comfortable and easy to work with, easy apply the right amount of force on the crimp I used two little neodymium magnets to hold the allen key (for the interchangeable heads) to the crimper, Fiddle with it for 15 seconds to get used to it.

Do not be fulled by the fact they are japan made. Cheap plastic sa fety release pin is not somthing you would put in a pretending to be a 'precission' quality tool. I bought a chinese pair for £8 and it was very precise and better quality and it did a very good job crimping 1 mm wiring.
