Whoa, I was like 17min for a wire stripper vid, too much. But as I started watching, I was like oh, this is good info. Very informative, and thank you for taking the time to explain in detail!!
17 minutes well spent! I've never been able to figure out what the other bits were for when I've been stripping wire. The screw cutting holes have blown my mind haha. Cheers from the UK!
Wow. People like you make our lives so easy. This is a great tutorial and simplified. I always wanted to know how to crimp and what those other holes and markings were other than the stripper. Much needed. Appreciate 👍
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video. Imma be honest I always thought that electrical work was too advance for me to get my head wrapped around but because my dad's starter motor went out I had to try and help him out. Nobody ever taught me how to use tools but thanks to the internet and gentlemen such as yourself providing information for those that don't know I feel confident i can properly do what I need to help out around the house. Thanks and bless you!
Man, where was this video when I first realized how little I know about this stuff. After a phone call with my dad, my suspicion of what I needed to do seemed correct but most of the learning has been by trial and error. I still needed some additional information like having the split lined up with the tool for the best contact which has been my biggest problem (loose crimps).
WOW IM A CRAFTING HOUSE WIFE AND MY HEAT PRESS STOPPED WORKING SO I WENT THROUGH TONS OF VIDEOS IN ORDER TO PURCHASE THE CORRECT TOOLS AND BUTTONS TO USE THEN I GOT MY STRIPPING KIT AND WENT THOUGH TONS OF VIDEOS ON USING IT AND CAME ACROSS YOUR ARE A GREAT TEACHER AND YOU EXPLAIN THINGS PERFECTLY YOU DONT RUSH I AM I USING A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TOOL AND I HAD NO PROBLEM UNDERSTANDING THANKS
Thank you so much man! I’ve been looking everywhere for a tutorial that gets right to the point and doesn’t try to advertise or convince me to buy anything! You have my like and subscribe!
I’ve had this kind of tool for over 25 years and although I had some idea of how to use it and mostly used it for simple wire stripping, I wasn’t fully aware of all the functions such as screw cutting. I recently decided to look into it and found a couple of other videos online but your video is by far the clearest and easiest to follow.
Just got one of these tools. Really appreciate the insightful education on it. I like how thorough it is and that you've used the chapters so we can skip what we personally don't need to know. Thank you!
A nice video to introduce a lot of beginners to this versatile tool. A couple of points of clarification if I may...I would not recommend crimping coax with this tool. The coax you happened to show used a compression style terminal, which requires a completely different tool to install, as it is not crimped. But even for crimp-style coax terminals, this tool will not generate sufficient crimping force to make a reliable connection. A minor clarification on the screw-cutting portion (the part of this tool most people don't understand!) is that it isn't 6 thirty-seconds or 8 thirty-seconds. Machine screws come in particular sizes (diameter of the shank--very similar to wire gauges, but a totally different system). The 2 numbers with a dash in between represent the screw (shank) size and the thread pitch (number of threads per inch). So a 6-32 screw (common in electrical work) is a #6 screw with 32 threads per inch.
Thank you. I just bought one of these and didn't know how to use it, except for the wire cutter and stripper. I did a little project as I watched. Thanks again!
Thankyou very much. Im alone and needing to learn these things now. Messed up 4 ring terminals before i watched your channel. Very clear, easy to follow
Excellent! I am not much of a handyman so this really helped me. I had been lucky enough to have selected this exact tool at the store, before even seeing your video. Thanks again for a very clear presentation!
I enjoy your conversational tone. Feels like you’re directly talking to me. I was looking for a review of a totally different cutter crimper but stayed to the end just because. 😁
I know English very little, but this is the clearest video I have seen so far on this subject, It has helped me a lot. Thank you very much for doing it.
thank you for the amount of detail. I love how you showed the correct method and then showed what to avoid. I have to do some DIY wiring for ham radio and know how to use the crimping tool.
Wire cutting, stripping and crimping all in one tool. So far I have got by without one just by using the pliers that were already in my tool box. Still a very informative video and this tool is a lot cheaper than others if you want to keep just one tool with your box of connectors.
Thanks for showing the split demo. Other videos I found are using more expensive crimpers that don’t have the same crimper head. Nobody pointed out where to put the split sections in one of these cheap tools.
Thank you for the video very useful. I love this tool. It's a must need for any tool box. A lot of electricians will say that it sucks but at the end of the day it does work and when the time comes and you need to get the job done it will get it done. I have used it in many major jobs and it has kept true for years. Also it's great for electrical outlets for cutting down those screw sizes which sometimes are to long. Knowledge is power. I really appreciate the video I wish to do some myself fixing stuff.
Thank you for your video. I just bought a tool similar to this one and I don't know a single thing about it until I come across your video. Your information is much appreciated.
Thank you so much for your dedication. Everything has been well detailed I really appreciate you to be honest you are a well explanatory in detail teacher I wish we have more people like in the world
Thanks, truly, all i want is crimp some wires for the connector of my fuel pump connector. Instead of buying a new connector, all i need is to change the connector but i didn't know how to atick the terminals at the end of the cable. I truly appreciate sharing your knowledge.
Really good tutorial on how to use the cutter/crimper tool that I have had forever but did not know exactly what the various sections were for. Thanks for the thorough demonstration. Best of luck to you in your efforts.
Great video, layman's(simple) way explanation, and cool guy. Never knew or thought of the bolt cutter and its purpose until I watched your video! .... can NOT tell you how many times I've bitched about when cutting a screw/bolt (with a regular cutter, not this tool) messing up the threads at the end. So, this tool re-threads the end of cut so you can use it like a new cut-to-length size. COOL!! Thanks a lot!
@Caliber8Tools it did, I changed my air-condition Resistor in my car and I had to use a cable clamp stripper for the first time in my life. Went smoothly except the tight and short cable area I had to work on right under the passenger front under the dash and glove compartment. Was tight!!!
Admittedly, I am a tool and wire idiot. Sixty-eight years old and never done this. You did a fantastic job explaining and demonstrating this tool. I learned a lot from this video. I have owned the same tool you demonstrated, just never had a clue how to use it. One dumb question for you. I have thin wires on my sprinkler system and don’t know the gauge. I know, from you, that it will be a higher number. But, how does one determine the gauge of a wire. Obviously I have no packaging that came with it. It was installed seven years ago by the sprinkler guy. Thanks again for your video. You had just enough detail and went slow enough for us neophytes. Nick T
Appreciate your feedback. I would invest in a wire gauge tool. It’s a small measuring device that has slots to insert your wire to tell you the correct gauge. Sold online, around $10 on Amazon. Don’t know if Homedepot has them in stock. Type in “wire gauge tool”.
Caliber8, good dope on using the what/how of the crimping tool. The one thing I might recommend is the use of a second crimp to reinforce the connection. The first where the wire is just exposed from its insulation, and the second directly behind it on the insulated portion of the wire.
