Greenlee45500 Standard Insulated Kwik Cycle Tool With Die

While not as nice as Wiha, APEX or T&B, these are surprisingly rugged and pretty well built for the substantially less price. They have the replaceable dies just like the others and have been a workhorse for me thus far. I used APEX for years until my crimpers and dies were stolen, so I am used to performing the task with a higher end crimper. I believe these Greenlee's will do the job just as well for years to come.

Very usefull with panels terminatin, for staycons , nice soft grip , life time varranty thru Greenlee , only down size is build in Taiwan , other then that is very good

I had a cheap brand that I used all the time and got really use to them, so when I started using this ones they felt different. They work ok, get the job done I guess.

I have a boat and a utility trailer and this crimper has made repairing the wiring on the various lights on the trailers much easier. The trailers invariably come with poor quality butt connectors that corrode in short time. The Greenlee crimper makes exchanging the cheap butt connectors with the proper heat shrink connectors easy!

I have had this crimping tool for around 3 years using it mainly for my street legal dirt bike and my UTV or side by side which is now also street legal. I have always struggled with this tool but when I recently installed the street legal kit on my side by side I became frustrated to the point I decided to make others aware. Simply put, the crimps made using this tool are not of sufficient quality so that the connectors stay attached. If you use another tool to recremp, you can get by. This tool also sometimes cuts the wire near the end of the insulation. I have other crimping tools that work great but this is not one of those. I am tossing this tool and purchasing another tool.

Very well constructed and reasonably priced. I do a lot of terminals as a mobile tech and was looking for a crimper that was reliable and easy to use.

loved it.

Get it right every time with these. The only downfall is the need for multiple crimping dies and they tend to be expensive. With the exception of that however, you can't miss with these. You get the comfortable feel in your hand, the leverage from the length of the handles, and the ratcheting action that lets you know exactly how much pressure is enough. Perfect.
