King Krimper crimping tool...

[Sgt Raven]

I saw someone using a cripmer that looked like this on a YouTube video and it looked interesting.
So I did a search and this one came up and looks similar to the one he was using.
For <$25.00 I thought what the hell and have it on order, free ship to store, @ Home Depot.....
It's suppose to handle up to 4awg terminals....

Those King Krimpers look like they would deliver power the same way a set of bolt cutters or compound limb trimmers would. Mqy be a pretty good find.
Please let us know how they do.

It seems to be specific to their proprietary connecters

The linked crimpers are for anderson powerpole up to 180 amps.
What form factors are you planning to crimp and what gauges of wire?

They say for their connectors, but if you look at the shape I think they're more general than that.
I think they will work with larger sizes of un-insulated terminals I went looking for them after watching this video,
At 4.40-5.15 you can see the head of his crimpers. Plus I need to crimp some 120A Power Poles, too.
Worst case, I'm out $25. Best case I found a cheap set of heavy duty crimpers for a great price.
