Make cables and wiring harnesses with ease using the best crimping pliers we've used. These especially light, ergonomic, precision-machined crimpers will turn you into a pro, with no more painful struggles with pliers and generic crimpers that smoosh your contacts so they won't fit properly.

This model does a wide range of the most common connectors, including but not limited to JST XH, PH, EH & NH series, Molex Micro-Fit, KK series, etc. AWG #32-#18

There's a great website at ENGINEER Co. with lots of details, including a detailed compatibility chart. There is also a video tutorial showing how to use the tool, so please check it out! Come for the instructions; stay for the super funky background music, the charming voiceover, and, of course, Takasaki-san.
