I have seen other posts about what has been used for crimping the various connectors. Somebody sent me the link below and I wanted to ask if anybody has experience with this tool and would it do the job?

Bilal, I think I posted the first Amazon link. The key is how well the dies fit what you are trying to crimp. If it doesn't fit well, no matter how "good" the crimper, it won't make a nice crimp.

I bought this crimper from Princess Auto and I love it. Does all the connectors I ever use (except weatherpac). I think I can get weatherpac anvils, though.

So Scott,
How do you know which crimper has the correct dies to work on the 928 wiring?

Best $8 you will ever spend. This is the highest quality $8 tool I have ever seen.

I have that one, but it doesn't compare to the ratcheting ones posted above.


I have the blue one in the red case from Amazon, works perfect on all types except weatherpac.

The one 69gaugeman looks nice too.

Del City offers a nice selection of crimpers at fair prices. They also run sales and have coupons floating around:

Is what I use for my Faston terminals.

Bilal,
The first one you listed is for insulated terminals only, probably not too useful for our needs.
The others depend completely on the proper die set, I have not researched the die for the 928 connectors, but they should be available. Note they are probably metric. Using the wrong die will over stress the connector and it will eventually fail due to vibration at the least opportune time.
All dies are exactly matched to the connector, wire size, insulation thickness (insulation crimp is critical) there are hundreds of types and styles, (kinda like tires).
The simple crimpers get close, but it is a crap shoot unless you have the correct die set.
The extraction tools are simply for removing the connector from the housing. No such thing as an "un crimper".
