Need help finding a Mac Tool wire stripper/crimper

[Jamie V]

I'm looking to find another pair of my favorite wire crimpers and I'm hoping someone can help me find them. They are Mac brand and the part # is TCT9M

Looks like those have been discontinued but here's what is available as of now. http://www.mactools.com/en-us/Plier...f1-a30a014b5738/Wire-Cutter-Crimper-Strippers

Thank bud, I know they are long gone I was hoping someone might see a left over one on a Mac tool truck or might have one the will sell.

I still have mine but I want a second (backup) pair.

Vaco made the same stripper,I think the 1900 model.

That's good info, if it's the same I'd be interested in one of those also.

I doubt those are made by Mac. Probably available from another supplier.

Here is something similar.

I have similar stuff but those are my favorite. Just want another of the same one.

So looks like you are set on getting an identical pair of pliers. If that is the case, look for them on ebay. I looked around a bit, and they only seem to come up on ebay from time to time. Also keep your eyes open for a pair of Vaco No. 1900. They are the OEM for the pair of Mac pliers you have. Vaco is now Klein if I recall correctly.

Now, if there are certain aspects of those pliers that you like, such as US made, there are other options. Snap On makes some excellent forged US made strippers/crimpers, and I am sure there are other manufactures out there.

The MAC (and many of the Matco) strippers, crimpers and cutters are made by Imperial Stride.

He's right, they were made by Vaco and they're the 1900.

The closest thing you'll find now are these Knipex:
