Ratchet Crimp Tools

Shameless, I know, but it may be of some assistance to you to know that I have a pair of T&B ERG2002 for sale or trade for significantly less than the asking price. Shoot me one for more info.

According to my findings on here they are the same, both under the same umbrella. Not sure who owns who though.

Quickster,

What is your review of the Waytek crimper? I had to postpone buying one at my workplace due to budget cuts, but it is still on my radar.

You proclaim to be a person that wants quality tools/results, so I am interested in your opinion. The Waytek (Pressmaster) seems to be a good value compromise for those who cannot justify several dedicated tools at $250+, but also don't want to purchase the Asian imitations.

Thank you for any input.

I love it, feels good in my hands. Seems to be making nice crimps on heat shrink connectors. I crimped a 16 gauge wire and pulled and pulled on the wire so see if the crimp would fail. The wire itself snapped, while the crimp didn't even flinch. **NOTE I did not apply heat and heat shrink the wire/terminal** So with the crimp and the adhesive heat shrink terminal I don't see any crimp failing for years to come.

I'm wanting to see how the crimp dies for weatherpack and metri-pack perform. Hoping to get some soon.

I think Amp is now owned by Tyco. An excellent crimper.
