I bought all different types of crimpers, pneumatic and plier style, and this hammer on tool is the only one that makes a solid crimp, every time.
The other styles aren't reliable based on wire size and lugs of same size and most times it makes a loose crimp and you need to size down and it damages the lug so bad it needs to be thrown away and restart. Not with this hammer on tool, it makes a clean solid crimp every time and it doesn't get bothered with wire or crimp manufacturing tolerances.
The only issue is when you need to make a crimp on-vehicle, you just can't hammer it in there, which is where the other tools offer a practical solution.
If you can make a new wire or remove wire from vehicle, then this is your go to tool.
This tool is sturdy and high quality.
It doesn't say on the box if it's made in the USA, but I suspect it could be.
