Relatively heavy duty, but know their limits
The Dechengbao Battery Cable Lug Crimping Tool set is a good set if a little specialised, particularly the crimpers. I really want to say they are heavy duty but I cannot say that about the cable cutter as it was damaged after only a few uses.
– Big
– Easy to use
– Effective
– Don’t push too far
So I don’t very often crimp battery cable lugs, but I thought as it was adjustable I would find a number of uses for it, but unfortunately, as it is just so big and the adjustment is no enough to make it useful for smaller tasks I have been unable to use the crimpers for any real work, but the cable cutter I have found quite a bit of use for as I am always cutting cables and rarely is bigger worse.
My first impression when this set arrived was a bit of shock at just how big the tools are, I knew for their purpose they would not be small but they are definitely larger than I was expecting. They feel well made and sturdy, particularly the crimpers they are big and the grips are nice to hold and it is very satisfying to use. If you would use these a lot I would definitely recommend them as they will get the job done and feel great while doing it.
The cable cutter I have been a little disappointed with, it has been fine for smaller cables, but I think the size led me into a false sense of security and then when trying them on a cable with a thick metal wire core I see that o have damaged the cutting blade and you can see that in the pictures attached, I’m sure it would work with battery cables as they are less thick.
