HD-428979Deutsch Crimping tool

[nobbyjohn]

Is their a cheaper alternative? I don't have 350 dollars to spend on a tool i will use probally only once.I will be crimping wires on a wire plus.Any suggestions please!

Yep don't buy it.....I bought one at harbor freight for $9.99 worked fine.

Just crimp it all the way to close and just due a little tug test on each crimp. The WP you get sent should have the barrell plugs those are the easiest to crimp.

I agree but I soldered all my Deutsch connections also.
That tool cost is ridiculous

I drilled a round hole in a pair of needle nose pliers ..... the same diameter as a crimped connector .... ground down the nose a bit on the pliers to give it a nice rounded tip .... thing works great ....

I bought a deutsch crimper from these Crimp Supply: Deutsch Tools

It's still about $200, but if you're crimping with any sort of regularity, it's worth it to know the wire's never going to pull out. They have the terminals too.

I bought my Kline crimper at Home Depot for $25.00.

Solder and shrink.

1. The neck is never crimped.
2. The end piece can be reused.
3. The crimp has a big sleeve on it like your bike looks like it has her peas.
4. The multi size shrink tubing can be doubleye'd over like you can wear two condoms and now the bike looks clean of all those STD looking all plastic crimps&chips anshit. :lol:

I have the actual deutsch pliers I use them on vehicles we rewire at work I would consider loaning them out as long as they are returned when you are done. I have both sets for open and closed end terminals just need to know which you would need the closed ends are the expensive ones over $400

 

[mml03102]

Thank you thats cool of you to offer but I ended up oerdering a pair on ebay, thanks again :2thumbs:
