The Finished Product



Good Luck!




EDIT:


After many requests I have added my *experiences with the Harbor Freight Hydraulic Crimper below.



*Since writing this article many years ago I have also extensively tested a heap of other hydraulic and manual Chinese lug crimping tools. I've even tested tools by some, shall we say, less than ethical US companies slapping their sticker on unmodified Chinese tools, with metric dies, and calling them AWG. The bottom line? In all this testing I have still not found a better tool at a better price than the FTZ.


"Hey RC can I buy this from you?"


No, at this time I don't sell the FTZ 94284. I have provided a link to a reputable source. While they may not be the absolute cheapest they stand behind what they sell and are good guys to buy from.


I get no kickback from the business I send their way. Why? This is a very, very slim margin product. There is not even a 3.5% margin in it for me so it would actually cost me money to pay the interchange fee and box and ship it. Yep at my buying level I'd lose money selling this tool. For now I will let bigger companies with stronger buying power sell the tool.
