00:00Fix Loose Wire Terminals with Self-Adjusting Crimper Video Script
00:04Loose Wire Terminals?
00:06Nothing worse than a crimp that fails the second you wiggle it.
00:10I went hunting for the best deals on self-adjusting crimpers for loose wire terminals,
00:15and honestly these ratchet crimpers are the real fix.
00:185 of them, 5 very different price tags, all worth a look.
00:23Starting at the top end, this HSC-12 covers 16 down to 6 AWG, that's 0.5 to 16 square
00:29millimeters, and it self-adjusts so you stop guessing it die sizes.
00:34Hexagonal output, ratchet action, and it lands at $22.20.
00:39Over 4,700 sold with a 5-star rating.
00:43If you're doing heavy gauge work or building panels, this is the one.
00:48Now this is my value pick.
00:501782 gets you the crimper plus 400 to 2,000 wire terminals in the box,
00:55so you're not ordering ferrules separately.
00:58It handles 23 to 10 AWG 0.25 up to 6 square millimeters, fully self-adjusting, and ratcheting.
01:06Nearly 4,600 sold, still 5 stars.
01:10Great Starter Kit
01:11This HSC-8 is the sweet spot for electronics work.
01:15It has 6-4 and 10-6 die sizes covering 0.08 to 10 square millimeters,
01:21and it's built for VE and TE bootlace ferrules, the kind you find in PLC cabinets and control boards.
01:281869, about 4,100 sold, rated 5.
01:32Small tool, very clean crimps.
01:35Cheapest of the bunch and still self-adjusting with a ratchet.
01:401423 for the HSC-8 with 6-4 and 6-6 dies, 0.25 to 10 square millimeters, plus that
01:46big bag of terminals.
01:48Rating dips only to 4.7, so you get a little more mixed feedback, but at this price it's hard
01:54to argue with.
