- In this video we are taking a look at the Paron JX-D5 affordable crimping tool set which was provided for free by banggood.com for the purpose of this review. This single inexpensive crimping tool can do wire ferrules, blade connectors, dupont connectors, jst connectors and more but is it any good? In this video I am testing the tool in various use cases, performing multiple crimps on different style of connectors and then check the end result.
Are you looking for a cheap crimping tool that is able to handle multiple types and sizes of connectors? The Paron JX-D5 might be the right one for you, watch the video to find out more.

#VoltLog #Review #Crimping - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Thanks for sharing! Based on my humble experience with crimping, with a little practice you will be producing high quality, consistent crimped connections. Perhaps I was using cheaper Chinese dies, but I found that for smaller connectors - duPont, JST, etc - I got lousy results, sometimes crimping the same wire 5-6 X before getting a workable (ugly) crimp. I searched TH-cam and found a suggestion of "Engineers Precision Crimping Pliers PA-09
", which is the one I think you mentioned. Although it takes more steps, I get 95+% good crimps, so for me it is a joy to use. Bad crimps come from 1) incorrect positioning and stripping (usually too much wire exposed) - which I think you experienced, and 2) too much/too little pressure, which is not a problem with the style of crimping tool that you show here. I have both styles, but greatly prefer the PA-09 for small connectors (I guess I already said that...). I guess I should mention that the PA-09 is pretty pricey ($39), too, but for me, I feel it was worth it. There is another tool, "IWISS Mini Micro Open Barrel Crimping Tools Works on AWG28-20 JAM, Molex, Tyco, JST Terminals and Connectors" that looks quite similar to PA-09 for quite a bit less ($18)...
The Engineer PA-09 is highly recommended by everyone who owns it, seems like a good tool, bust last time I checked it was like $60 to have it shipped to Romania so I was looking for cheaper alternatives. I still need something for very small connectors like tiny JST so I'm still searching to see if I can find just a die for those smaller connections or get an entire different tools just for those.
i was impressed by the crimps these low priced pliers made under $50 australian with free delivery on ebay.
i might just buy a set
The number imprinted on the ferrule is to identify that the correct crimp has been used with the correct wire size. On a validated panel inspection, the first thing you do is ask for the crimp tool calibration cert - no cal cert condemn job. next do a percentage wire pull and also notice if crimps have more than one wire fixed, and check from the imprinted number on the plastic ferrule is correct. A crimp tool is not a simple piece of equipment!
interesting, thanks for sharing the info!
Hi John. Do you know where I can get conduct tite tech terminals, for a heater/AC heater harness, for a 2000 Chrysler Concorde LXI? The connector is 1.0mm wide, and 14mm in length. I’d appreciate it, if you could point me in the right direction? Email- ochtane1097@icloud.com thanks
Good thing I don't work with validated panels ;^)
colors for the automative types connector are for the cable sizes
Thanks a ton for this. I managed to pick the right crimping tool for my needs after watching your video
Is there a hand tool out there that can “square” crimp 4/0 AWG wire ferrules? I don’t know what else to type in the search bar. 🙄 I might just have to get a different distribution block instead of more tools.
Bought it from your link, thank you 👍
These crimping pliers work perfectly once you get to know them.Mine had a little bit of play in jaws -a simple solution was to shim the jaws -there is a pin in middle that holds jaws together with some type of C ring(no idea how its called in english ) that you can remove with flat screwdriver and i put washer made of beer can and it aligned jaws.I tried hitting metal with hammer but no luck since they are made of some kind of spring steel.
2nd problem is these jaws are too short for some types of connectors -for example non insulated spade connectors so you need to crimp twice -first you crimp the back end of connector that holds wire insulation then you move it couple mm back and finish it .
Its not perfect tool by all means but once you get to know it and its flaws it does make strong nice looking connections for 25$.Its not a knipex(but it doesnt cost arm and leg ,knipex tool will cost you easy 100€ just with 1 die) but the wire will hold incredible force with cheap ebay spade connectors.I love it !
Where can I get a 1.0 mm female style connector, that slides over a flat pin, behind a heater/AC module in a Chrysler Concorde LXI? Car is a 2000 year
Do you not have to use the adjustment screw when switching between the different dies? Could that be why some required more force to be applied?
If you are referring to the screws near the jaws, those are what hold the dies in place. To mount them, you can insert them, close the pliers, then add the screws.
those screws align and them clamp the dies in place, there is not adjustment there.
@@Basement-Science - No, I was referring to the screw with the adjustment plate below that is next to the handles. I believe it is marked with a + and -.
Hello friend, do you know tell me if it crimping terminals dupont for use arduino and others? Thx!
You inserted the uninsulated blade connector the wrong way around the first time. You have to watch the orientation. The narrower part is for the part that grabs the bare wire and the wider part of the die is for the part that grabs the insulation. To crimp Dupot and 2.54mm JST type contacts I can recommend the SN-01BM type crimper. They work perfectly.
Thank you! That one is also die cast?
@@voltlog The die on the SN-01BM doesn't seem to be die cast. It consists of two 2mm metal sheets which are pinned together (intelligent approach to make production easier). The side of the sheets show a small grain structure like you will find on sintered metal. You can also observe a straight line pattern from one side to the other, hence I think these parts are stamped out. The side of the die that is responsible to roll over the lugs of the contacts are polished so crimping goes very smooth.
The only downside is, that the die cannot be exchanged on this tool.
@@tobi_n pictures on google show the SN-01BM with a screw over the die, isn't that what makes the die removable?
Yes I've seen crimps fail because of that and people then think crimping itself is at fault
@@voltlog The screws stabelize / hold the tool together at the front. But you can not remove the die because the two pins, which hold the two metal plates together, extend into the frame (black painted parts) of the tool. To remove the die you would have to drill the rivets out and remove the c-clips and handles to spread the frame apart.
I prefer to solder wire joints but not always possible, this seems to be a great crimper for the price.
We all started with what was available, nobody had a crimping tool from the start but at some point you feel like you want to do better :-)
In high vibration environments, soldering is a weak point, only crimping avoids that.
شكرا للمراجعة الرائعة 🌟
Thank you for review
The video is great, and the stuff is great. I bought the same thing from the renhotecic brand not long ago, and it feels very good to use. If you need it, you can consider it.
It's so good but i need to know howmuch its that?
Who are you dealing with at Banggood, is it still Jason or is it someone else?
I don't think it really matters, this time it was Susan, but I think these are just aliases and they differ from country to country, I think one of the aliases manages a whole country.
VoltLog - I’ve been having issues with very slow communications from Jason recently, I think he is busy! So I’m looking to make contact with another rep. Perhaps you can email their details to me.
Best video for jx 1601
Thans for sharing !
I want this tool kit
Nice and tidy case, specially for the price.
Over the years have accumulated 4 different ratcheted crimp tools for different type of crimps and thet take a lot of space.
Now I'm looking into finding a die for very small jst connectors, maybe a compatible one from another tool, that would really make this kit complete
If any one ...knows which crimper is as good as a Wiha. ..let me know
Thank you
Plenty like fish in the sea. Thomas and betts, burndy, amp tyco...many more.
Those are the same crimpers as a dozen other "brands"; same as I have and recommended. They'll work fine. Not great, fine.
As for "thousands of crimps", they wont last, but you shouldn't expect that for $25 either.
yup, I agree
Very nice
So, my old man and his brother (my uncle) are union electrical wiremen. They both worked building and maintaining nuclear power plants when I was a kid.
First, they use those "automotive" or "industrial" type connectors a lot. They always told me to use a pair of side cutters that have a crimping jaw with a different shape than the die you used. It's basically a "U" shaped saddle, and a smaller but narrow "u" to crimp the ferrule/wire. I was told to look at the end of the fitting where the wire goes and find the butt joint inside the barrel. Then position the compressing "u" side of the die opposite the butt joint. These types of joints are not designed to wrap around the wire. If the butt joint side of the fitting is compromised (deformed/misaligned), the crimp is considered mechanically compromised... at least this is what I've been told a million times growing up in my family.
Secondly, the problem with these ratcheting pliers is that they must be continuously calibrated in a professional work environment. If they are not calibrated to a specific force for the appropriate fitting/wire combination they will often over or under crimp the fitting. You need to (at least empirically) test them regularly to ensure the joint is correct. Union electricians will often yank hard on a wire to test them. If you try this side by side with the same size wire and a properly manually crimped fitting you can get a good idea of the crimp quality.
I have a set of these as well. I assume you know about the AliEx seller that lists and sells all the dies cheap (~$4 each).
I watched an upload from randomtronic awhile back when I was looking for the right die to use with JST XH connectors. I don't know if this die also works for Dupont ferrules but it is a similar overall shape, but much smaller than the die you showed here. I saved and still had a screenshot of that one before I bought one :-)

I'm pretty sure this crimping tool does not rise to the standards required in the industry and you are not supposed to use one of these as a professional electrician on your job, but we're talking hobby level here. A hobbyists will usually not afford to pay hundreds of dollars for a crimp tool that can do only one type of connector. So these cheaper alternatives are in my opinion a good option for hobby level. They get you decent results.
@@voltlog
oh yeah. I'm not trying to say otherwise. I was just attempting to add some perspective. I was actually referring to the most expensive types of ratcheting crimp tools. Even they are not up to the task in certain environments. But that is the case in most demanding industrial settings, there's always a 'right tool for the job (that most of us don't have)' :-)
Like I said, I have one of these too. I got sick of trying to make JST XH crimps using side cutters so I got one.
There's a lot of confusing sources of info about this stuff around the web. Heck, when RadioShack went out of business I got a bunch of different coaxial and BNC fittings that I still haven't figured out how to use, or what tool to get. I know half of them are some kind of compression fitting. If you look at just the crimp die selection for coaxial stuff there are like 7 versions. Then there are like 3 or 4 different kinds of compression fitting pliers (none of which are ~$10 cheap).
BTW I'm never here trying to discourage anyone or anything like that. I don't care about selfpromo, I'm not monetized, don't plan to change that, and really don't know if I will ever feel like making or posting more content here anyways. I'm just a hobbyist that tends to play with much the same stuff as yourself, only I'm a year or two behind your experience level :-)

Upcycle Electronics hey there is room for everyone and everyone's opinion as long as it's civilized and supported with arguments, no worries. 👍I like taking freebies like these from time to time because I don't use my own money to try out something new, if it's bad I don't stand to loose anything, if it's good, it's a win situation and the public gets free info either way.
These crimpers with interchangeable dies are very cheap.
I would be interested in seeing a review of a crimp tool that does crimps for the "DuPont" type of connectors. My understanding is that there are few standards and all manufacturers make their own terminals *and* a very expensive crimp tool they will sell to you.
I enjoy your videos and always look forward to the next.
Some people swear by the Engineer branded crimping tools which have precision machined dies. But for me that one is $50-60 so I resisted buying one because of the price.
I use a SN-28BS, the S at the end is important due to better quality, (it looks like SN-48BS is identical) and the electrical crimping connection looks very good, the DuPont connector is not bent and fit in the housing.
However, the strain relief is not crimped correctly for DuPont connectors, but that's the case with all this tools, including the Engineer PA-09 and also the one in this video. This is well explained at tech.mattmillman.com/info/crimpconnectors/#minipv
@@AS-oq7io I would imagine the SN-28BS has better quality in the crimping tool itself? Because it seems to be using the same cheap dies that sell everywhere or did you notice it came with better dies as well?
@@voltlog I assume the dies are better, still die cast but not the worst quality. Here is a picture of the SN-28BS dies and a comparison with the Engineer PA-09: www.dropbox.com/s/5s5ptxbfeybr265/Dupont2.jpg
The Engineer PA-09 is a great tool, but for DuPont connectors it can only do 50 % of the Job right and then it's too expensive. The picture also shows how it can be done right but then you need an additional tool.
An interesting combination to test for DuPont would be IWISS IWS-2820 and YTH-202B, in the hope that the IWISS IWS-2820 gives similar results as the Engineer PA-09 and that the YTH-202B has a better quality as the SHE.K SK-202A.
How much the prize sir
What were you using before?
This was my first crimp tool.
@@voltlog So you never used a different tool like pliers?
I certainly tried pliers but that's when I got wires simply pulling out of the crimp at the slightest pressure and also connectors not fitting in their plastic housing anymore, so I cannot recommend that method.
@@voltlog I was just wondering what you use up to this point and I don't approve of them either if you're having problems, but back in the 1970's. 80's or even now I used pliers, but I bent one over at a time until all wires were tight fit then press them from the sides and sometimes I used a little solder and I hear people say the wire tends to break and the connectors with the thick plastic on them I would avoid or use a little solder on the wire before inserting into the connector and never had a problem, but I have the proper crimping tools, but I also have 2 sons, family and friends one son is a certified mechanic. They use the tools and rarely ever put them back where they found them and sometimes they borrowed them and has to bring them back kind of crap. I like a nice uniform crimp from the factory that's why I keep buying tools over and over, but I can only waste a so much time looking. I have a two stall garage filled with tools and a gigantic Snap-on tool chest my son gave me so I can't really complain about him. These tools go missing in action MiA when you have a car you're working on outside and two jobs in the garage. I learned if it can happen it will so improvise on the spot and try not to become too eccentric about something. I never had a problem or complaint. As long as it's stable and secure, it's fine.
Sir ji price
For 25 bucks, this looks like a good buy. I don't think you will regret the price!
Certainly does the job for me. 👍
You can also get the same tool (or copy) for about 10$ on aliexpress, but with only one die set and nothing else.
That´s where I got mine probably about a year ago.
How much this toll price and tell me
Collect new delhi india process
What is the price for this tool in india and where this tool made available in bangulur in karnataka state mentione
I hate spade connectors so much. Prefer ferrules by far.
How to plase
Go for IWISS brand from China. They are pretty good quality and machined jaws. Some kind of thread cutting being used for making the jaws. I cant remember the exact name of this technique. Will have to look around. They also have ratchet locking mechanism and very decent quality. I have been using them for not less than 2 years and those still work like a brand new one. May be IWISS is the best brand in china. However I do not like changing jaws for different works so I bought them individually.
I've seen several comments recommending the iwiss brand, maybe I'll get a chance to take a look at their products in a future video. Thanks!
I have this one with all jaws, they are not good for dupont connectors, if you pull them they get out easily. Also the crimping always leave a somehow metal tail that doesn't look good.
For big stuff they are ok, but for small connectors they are not ideal.
After reading this comment I went back and did a few more crimps on dupont connectors. They are all very strong, they do not pull out, so I'm thinking:
1. There is some variation from tool to tool, maybe I got a better one? It is die-casting after all so I think we could expect some variation maybe.
2. There is some variation in the crimping process: stripping the insulation, how far you insert the wire?
3. Using the right size of wire?
4. How good is the connector? I think I got some good quality dupont connectors these are not the cheapest ones from aliexpress.
Hi thanks for your comment @@voltlog I tried to remove a dupont connector and replace it with a new one and it didn't look that great as the original one, maybe it's my jaws that doesn't have good quantity, tried many times to crimp thinking that i was doing it wrong until i quit and started to crimp and also add solder paste to it and solder it. I watched over online videos on people crimping with good quality Japanese tools, totally different.
As i said for bigger stuff they are great, but for small things they are not that good and you'll have trouble trying to put them inside the dupont housing
After watching your reveiw, I'm thinking on buying this one www.aliexpress.com/item/IWISS-Mini-Micro-Open-Barrel-Crimping-Tools-Crimper-Terminal-Plier-for-28-20AWG-JAM-Molex-Tyco/32868911434.html
It looks like those good quality Japanese ones and have separated crimp areas which might make it more convenient to work with.
@@FixDaily People who had problems with cheap crimps are reporting they solved the problem with the more expensive Engineer branded crimping tool. So if it's possible, you might want to spend extra money and get the professional stuff, that is known for sure to work better. Then if you encounter any problems you will know it's something else, other than the tool.
@@voltlog I'll try this new cheaper one first if doesn't fit my needs i'll try the japanese one :) thanks for your time replying friend
@@FixDaily
I'm half posting here hoping to see if you update this after testing. Sub'd to you as well...if you post it :-)
I think those pliers you linked will take twice as long to use, as I don't think they have the stepped jaw.
IMO the Dupont wire terminals suck, because they are not designed to penetrate the insulation. I only use them for breadboards and buy the premade variety(even then I prefer the other cheap jumper wire type with the rubber ends.
I've been slowly switching over to the cheap Chinese JST XH's, KF2510's, and the DC3 IDC connectors for board designs.
BTW, if your ratcheting crimp pliers lack a tensioned adjustment, just go get a set of cheap shim type feeler gauges online/at any auto repair store. Those make perfect shim stock for tuning tools like this. Just use shims to force the dies into position.
BTW - VL, I could certainly be wrong here but I believe these types of dies are investment cast. I believe die casting doesn't mix well with tool steel. Like any process, it's easy for the craftsman to screw up. I'd rather have an investment cast bit rather than a machined one though. Lower quality machining operations usually push their cutting bits way way too hard and too long between sharpening. I see a lot of overworked and stressed metals that are brittle and break easily. A great example are all the Chinese diagonal side cutters we buy for less than $2. I have 5 sets so far (still cheaper than 1 quality set). Of the 5, 4 have chipped or broken jaws. The jaw ends have all been overworked without proper annealing.
Anyways...that's just my $0.002 adsense.
Seriously I'd like to know about those other pliers. There's also another similar type I've seen on AliEx (solid pliers without removable dies) that have green handles and a wider crimping surface for around the same price.

Just got one on ebay for $29 3 day shipped ...am still upset there was another one for $10more thT comes with a wire stripper 😅
4 bucks more but only has 4 dye sets. And the strippers are 10 bucks all the time. How do you like them? I'm about to re-wire an old car and need a pair.

No crimp is better than bad crimp
Don't believe the hype - I bought an Engineer PA09 for £27 on promotion and its useless for crimping Dupont and no better than a cheap SN-28B for JST
That Engineer tool works fine for Dupont terminals, but a) you need to crimp in two steps (wire first insulation after) b) for the insulation ideally get one of the cheap crimpers that has a round die.
See the link in my other comment above. With those two tools you get a perfect crimp comparable to the official Dupont tool. If you use the PA-09 on the insulation too it is usable but not great.
The SN-28B is often mentioned for crimping Dupot and JST contacts, but it has the wrong size. The SN-01BM is the right tool for the job.
