An improved design or adjustable lock would enhance the user experience.Final VerdictThe Twidec/Wire Rope Crimping Tool Kit is a comprehensive, well-built set that delivers solid and precise crimps with minimal effort.

Worked great on a bird feeder cable that broke. Quality of components seems great!

Cut/Clip bigger sections or the rope splinters into needle-like wires. Suggest cutting over a trash bin especially for anything under 2”.The double hole aluminum sleeves are tight! This means the rope uncoils going through the fasteners if there’s not a big tail to cut afterwards. Watch the video of someone putting a feeder on the tree. He played with the placement because he had a longer rope than needed, cutting the extra off.^^Best way to do it, I had to redo mine 3 times, I got poked several times and bled. 💉 I have had a recent enough tetanus shot.Also I’m female and the crimping tool requires both hands on the tool, then move around the aluminum sleeve until it’s cylindrical not quasi-infinity shaped.Now I have to hang my heavy art piece. 🖼️

Bought this to make a custom gate release and it worked perfect.

A must for the RV toolkit!

Must have for any crafter

I make ceramic wall plaques and wanted a more professional look to the hanger on the back of the tile. I epoxy 2 D hooks to the back and string the wire to make it easier to hang on the wall. The crimper worked easily and now I have a secure easy to use hanging system that looks professional. Thanks

Excellent crimping tool. I’ve used other aluminum crimps that tend to bind on the wire. These work better.
