Just wanted to say thank you for this comprehensive video for someone who has never done this before but needs to. Thank you so much again PD and 2 huge thumbs up to you! 👍 brother!
Came for the review of this crimper.. time to head over to Amazon and grab one.. and a new stripper like this one.. screw the old way I'm tired of fighting my old tools lol
Nice. I never cared for the IDC connectors. I almost always replace them with .156 connector housings and the trifurcon pins. But I like crimping, I find it enjoyable and relaxing.
I just got one of these crimper tools and it works just as good as what you are showing!! Love cheap well made tools..100% WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The HT225D does appear to work quite well, I would consider adding that tool to my lineup if I had the time. But if you do lots and lots of contacts -- is the Molex HTR-2445A (or Sargent 3136CT) tool better? Oh heck yes! Is it worth the expense - depends on how often you use it. The advantage of the pricier tools is the "locator" provided with the crimp tool (there is NO advantage to buying the pricey HTR-2262A / Sargent 3135CT). For the 2445A/3136CT - you push the button in on the bottom of the locator, drop the contact into the hole and then release the button. Tool then holds the contact at the right angle, right depth and includes a wire stop - no time used in aligning the contact or wire. The key to pricier Molex/Sargent tool - you need to do a lot of crimps for it to pay for itself. {GPE}
It looks like this tool is out of stock or discontinued. Any suggestions for an alternative? I have done four games already, crimping with needlenose pliers, and was about to finally get the proper tool! Just my luck lol
Great video, thanks for sharing. What do you use to cut down the connector sockets if you need only 4 or 5 pins? Something simple like a Dremel wheel, or is there a specific tool to make a clean cut?

you are my hero. I never crimped but today I have to the first time ! I have a good feeling to do it now...
I just bought one of these cripmers on Amazon for $21.99 and can't wait to try it out. Thank you for posting this video. :)
Extremely helpful. Thanks for the part numbers too. I may watch this 5 more times.

As Always, a wealth of good information to apply to all repairs needed . Thank You
Very informative. I feel confident now to try it. Thanks
Love this. Perfect lesson man.
I need to do the same on my Jokerz interconnect GI connector. This helps a lot. Thanks!
Hello from Germany. Thanks a lot. I´ve got work on the CFTBL
Good !
Why do you need to use a screwdriver to get the pin out of the crimper every time?
Thanks for this video. Very good. 👍👍

Good info. I will be doing this soon. My Diner's GI wiring was soldered to the interconnect. Gonna get one of those crimping tools.
Спасибо! Я долго искал эту информацию.

Yes, it does crimp the .100 KK pins.
