I've never been really happy with my Durite crimpers, especially my one for insulated terminals. The ones for non insulated are better, but I use them less.
Any recommendations?

Whether you believe you can, or you cannot, you're probably right.

Like yourself BPR, I never mind (within reason) spending more for better quality.
Thanks.

I’ve got some of these after switching to using uninsulated terminals for everything now: www.amazon.co.uk/Meterk-Adjustable-Terminals-Connectors-RatchetingI’ve used them loads (re-wired a LOT of my bro’s camper) and they are so much better than even ratchet with insulated. I know one of the reviews ^^ says they don’t work with superseal...which although they don’t come with a specific die...I still had no problem with 👍🏻 |

Just found these crimping pliers at a much more attractive price. Zoro often have deals on so could be even cheaper.
Think I'll get a set.

That set does not cover all the terminals for cars, it has coax crimps instead too. Careful as you may find the set almost useless.

Yes, not the right set unfortunately.
My original link is the correct set for automotive.

I'm even more confused.
The list of jaws supplied is a cut and paste from the set you linked to and the ones I found on Zoro.
They have "exactly" the same wording.

I find Cromwell very expensive and only tend to use them to get me out a hole sometimes. Go along by the brand if possibly, Kennedy tending to be a good one.
