[RE-wrenches] Amphenol and MC4 crimper

[Luke Christy]

HI Carl,
I used that tool for a couple of years, and found it fine. I did eventually switch to a Rennsteig crimper for H4 connectors but only because I found a great deal on eBay. I wouldn’t have any qualms about using the Amphenol-branded tool. It definitely doesn’t have the quality of the Rennsteig tool but it crimped fine and seemed like it would have decent life for the money.

I bought a set of theAmpenol H4 crimp teeth and loactor for my Reinstag crimper some time back, to handle the Amphenol H4 connectors They work well but require changing the locator for femal and male crimps and they are expensive.  I see this tool is out there.
