Plug wire crimper???
 
Looking to buy one that works well. I have one I bought years ago and it sucks. I see they range from 29.00 - 119.00. I thought I saw a MSD one in a video that looked to work great but I didn’t confirm what one it was. Tks

The MSD I saw I’m pretty sure was a 35051 ratcheting type. I’ll see what mm wires I have.

I have an Accell crimper from over 30yrs ago that works fine. I know, won’t help you much now. Things have changed with everything now, it seems.

best advice i can can give you with any new to you crimper is go get a few extra ends and a foot of extra or old wire, and practice a few strippings and crimpings. You’ll be glad you did.

a free one come with the msd wire kit, does the job, but if you want to become a professional wire maker pay the bucks

Have I been doing it all wrong all these years? I thought just all you needed was a pocket knife, pair of pliers and a pair of need nose.

I bought the MSD die that fits in a standard ratchet tool and it worked great in my Paladin kit.
