Ratchet Crimpers

[usr33t]

Mornin' all,

I'm going to invest in a new ratchet crimper, to be used for DIY projects around the home. I've seen Draper ones on Amazon quite cheaply and Screwfix do some heavy duty ones for a similar price.

Are there any particular brands that I should look out for, or are they all much of a muchness?

Thanks
Russ

They all seemed to cost £20 when I got mine, but I ended up with a set from screwfix that came with a starter pack of crimps.

Its pretty good apart from the ratchet disengage lever is bloody hard to use when the ratchet is half down, so I just make sure its set up right before I bite down with it.

Good luck

Very useful... Note the contributions and the 'form' of the ratchet crimper jaws (from a 'shed').
