/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I have those. The curve is supposed to make them more ergonomic, and honestly it’s nice for when you’re spinning around a wire to strip it.

Downside- they don’t have a spring and they don’t lock, but at the expense of that you get the crimper at the bottom. I find the ones with the spring and lock much easier to use with one hand when your other hand is holding the wire or whatever.

>tl;dr
Get the other curve model if you don’t need the crimper

I recently got the Channellocks that are real similar without the 1000V protection. Wanted to buy the Klein, but it seemed like too much to drop $40 on them. The cutters at the tip are great though and it crimps way better than the all in one tools like >>1519699

My car spent 5yrs in Chicago and 5yrs in Florida near the ocean. I need to get rid of that thing soon, clear coat is going and anything on the bottom is fucked.
