Is there a knock off Deutsch Crimper that works?
$300 for a crimping tool just seems ridiculous.
Has anyone had any luck with the knock off Deutsch crimpers? I see a few on Amazon for $20-$40, but the reviews are a bit sketchy. |

Some other tips:

I have used the one you linked and I prefer that over the expensive one. Especially if it gets lost on a job or grows feet.

You can get DW connectors without barrel pins too,
However I really prefer the barrel connectors, never had one fail. You can over bend the style I linked and they'll break. |
FYI- Proper crimpers are frequently available on EBay for around $100. The nicest crimpers I’ve ever used.

I have a Blue Point ratcheting crimping tool that works perfectly. This isn't mine but is the same tool.

Cheap ebay pair user here. With solid barrel connectors, I've yet to have anything less than a perfect crimp. Since the depth doesn't adjust, I basically insert the connector, use my finger to make it flush with the opening, apply just enough pressure to grip the connector, insert wire, squeeze. Zero issues. In fact, I wish everything would crimp like that - makes you wonder why anyone uses the stamped/split barrel terminals.

Can you please show the ones you are using if you have a link?

Almost positive it came from this place: https://4rcustomswire.com/about
Their ebay name is brussellex. Think that's where my GXL wire came from too. |
Just a follow up on this... ordered the 18880 and 18890 on amazon and they both work excellent. Great recommendation and for about $30 each they are great for solid terminals!
