Quoted from Pin_Fandango:I have one that looks like that but made by iwiss. I would say the crimp is 80-90% perfect lol 100% of the time. Lo
I want an OEM crimp, gas tight (all the wires compacted as per OEM testing) which will guarantee the same crimp every time and as per their testing the connector should last.
Probably overkill for our need but I dont want to deal with cheap tools. The iwiss was and is ok, but it requires a learning period. Also, as per my testing, what it might look like a good crimp does not survive a tug test as light a 5lbs. So it needs to be tuned and sometimes you need to use the wrong size die to get a good crimp.
I have it all tested out so I know what size to use for each connector, but I am no longer interested in putting up with experimentarions, I just want an OEM crimp.
Wondering if these Sargent tools provide OEM crimp? Or are these a Molex knockoff?

I own one of each. An actual molex for .156 pins and a Sargent for .100 pins. They both work EXACTLY the same. I also went thru about 10 different crimpers over the years and finally decided to spend the money.
SPEND THE MONEY! I found it to be a night and day difference. The factory crimper does such a better job aligning and crimping both the front and back at the same time is wonderful. The one crimper I had was like the iswiss and I found the pins would roll a bit when crimping leaving a less desirable crimp and some it would be defective. No such trouble with the molex/Sargent.
