Is The Iwiss Mini Crimp Tool Any Good? | Voltlog

High quality PCB Services pcbway.com Join me in this video where we take a closer look at the IWISS IWS-2820M crimp tool which can do very small crimps like: JST-SH, Tyco D-1000, Molex CLIK-Mate and others. Is this tool any good? I’ll test it by trying to crimp some JST-SH and JST-PH connectors.

#IWISS #Crimp #IWS-2820M
One of the more popular videos on my channel is Voltlog #223 where I reviewed the Paron JX-D5 crimping tool, I still have this tool, still working great and I use it occasionally to do some crimps. I mean it’s not going to be the best tool you can buy, or produce the highest quality crimps but for hobby level and for what you pay, it’s definitely a good deal. The only downside of this kit is that with the included accessories you can’t exactly crimp very small JST connectors, or other types of connectors like JAM, Molex ClickMate.
So in order to cover those as well, I decided to give this tool a try which is the IWISS Mini, this is the 2820M model which means tss specified for AWG20 up to AWG28 so in general for thinner wires and crimps but there is also the 2412M model which is specified for AWG24 down to AWG12. This particular tool was provided by banggood.com for free for the purpose of this review and should you decide to order one, there will be a link in the description below, for you to check it out. At the time of publishing this video the tool was actually under restocking but I’m hoping it will be back in stock pretty soon.
Construction wise, this is not a ratchet type crimp, but there is nothing wrong with not having a ratched, in fact in some cases, especially for cheap crimp tools the ratchet mechanism can be a problem and this can also be a matter of preference as some users prefer not having a ratchet system. But when not having a ratchet you have to make sure you are applying the correct force & travel for a good crimp and it does take some practice to reach that level.
