PEBA Crimping Tool and JST Connector Kit - 14 Types of 2.5 mm JST-SM Connectors & Crimp Pins, 2/3/4/5/6/7-pin JST Housings and Contacts, for DIY Electronics - Suitable for AWG 32-20 Wires

Bought this so I could crimp some dupont connectors to connect some wires to header pins. I think this tool set is great value. The tool itself is very nice, operates smoothly, and feels high quality. There are also plenty of connectors and housings included. I like that it also comes with a storage box to keep everything together. I also appreciated the instructions that are included. If you are new to crimping these types of connectors (like I was) make sure to read these carefully and reference the diagrams/images for whichever type of connector you are crimping. The direction you feed the connector+wire into the tool does matter. After one false start (my first crimp attempt was unsuccessful due to me not reading the instructions), I read the instructions and was able to crimp multiple connectors successfully with no issues.

Great quality and valve Works excellent

Great kit, well organized and divider tray keeps connectors and tool separate. The tray design also keeps the connector pieces from mixing with the other bins which is great.

They take a little technique but they’re worth it. The crimp set is complete with everything you need to get fun either connecting wires! Instructions for users with tips for this specific set would be a great inclusion. YouTube links are good but a manual with pics is better. All in all it’s a great set but not for beginners who can’t navigate YouTube how to videos.

Great quality on all components including the crimper and the nice case it comes in. Easy to use and even included decent instructions. Servo connector was exactly what I needed for scx24 but i will need to find smaller jst connectors for fcx24.

Overall this is a great set. The crimper feels solid, and the big assortment of connectors is just what I needed. That said, making these adapters is trickier than expected! The included instructions are good, but be prepared to waste several pieces before you get it right (if you're an absolute noob like me). Look closely at the metal part for the little "tooth" that latches into the plastic part. It's easy to crush that in while crimping such that it won't secure to the connector. My workaround was to make sure that the latch/tooth was hanging about 1mm out of the "back" of the crimper before pressing down; when I aligned the metal pieces flush with the front, I kept mashing it. It's a bit arts-and-craftsy, but you can definitely get a hang of it with some practice. The crimper works great, it's me that could you some improvement!

The hardest thing is trying to figure out the specifications for the different types of connectors as a hobbyist. I had ordered a kit of JST connectors from china because the seemed like the most common type. After reading a bunch, I was able to determine what I needed was the JST XH type but I did not have a crimper. My 3D printer was getting a height sensor and of course the 'high qwality' chinese kit did not have the proper connectors for my Ender 3 V2 motherboard. I decided that since this kit said the jaws were EDM cut, it might have some accuracy. I work in aircraft and the tools are VERY expensive, so when I found these, I thought I would take a chance. Came in a nice retail box, the actual kit box is SUPER nice with a removeable tray to store a complete variety of the connectors, and at that securely so they don't migrate into other compartments. The crimpers are better than average with the jaws being very accurate. I was able to clip the 5-wire harness flat across, install 5 new female ends and snap them directly into the connector for a exceptionally professional result. It also does SM types too, but I would just purchase a separate pack for cheap. Great for drones, electronic projects and upgrades. The main reason I got this specific set is that they said 'High-precision jaws' and I can attest that they are. I crimped some 22ga Tefzel aircraft wire and the crimps all came out perfect, with the crimps secure and the strain reliefs not damaging the wire insulation, like in the ad photo. I HIGHLY recommend this kit.

I love playing with microcontrollers and small circuits. For the past few years I've been using a crimping tool designed for Dupont connectors to make crimps on smaller JST-style pins. As can be imagined, it didn't work well and I often had to rework the connector several times to get it to properly crimp and fit into the plug. This tool changed all of that. It has a variety of different size pins and connectors that it can crimp, so it has plenty of versatility. I've become addicted to the ratcheting style crimper - this one is comfortable to use and works great. I couldn't be happier!
