Channellock 909 Crimping Tool with Cutter

Es una herramienta clásica con un buen acero y un nivel de acabados bueno. El seguro permite guardarla sinque se dañen los filos.

I keep a pair of small gauge wire strippers in my tool pocket on my pants, historically these have been the Klein 1011 but I temporarily misplaced my pair and needed a replacement. Instead of the Klein strippers I got the Channellock 958's to try out. The attached photo shows them side by side so you can see that they are almost identical. One of the Klein's disadvantages for me was that there is not a latch to keep them in the closed position, so they were difficult to remove from my tool pocket easily (which is why I removed the spring from the one in the photo). The Channellock's have a latch to keep them closed so they come out of my pocket easily, and a spring which makes them easier to use without changing grip. Both strippers are easy to use and strip 20-10 ga solid and 22-12 ga stranded wire very cleanly with no nicks. the Klein's are slightly more comfortable in the hand and have markings for both stranded and solid wire, as opposed to the Channellock's markings for solid AWG and metric wire sizes (which is not very useful to me). Additionally the Klein's markings are actually stamped into the metal as opposed to just marked onto the pliers. You can see some of the marking starting to wear after 6 months of use. Both pliers are priced nearly the same (~$13 right now) and perform similarly. Both are USA made out of good quality metal and work very well. After this pair wears out I'll probably get another set simply because of the latch.

great leverage that cut through things like butter. use the uninsulated crimp part for insulated crimps, get better results.

Muy buena herrienta.. corta con el mínimo esfuerzo y es muy útil al ponchar las terminales aisladas y desnudas. Llevo un mes usándola y me gusta su funcionalidad.

Too good
