wiring harness crimpers
anyone know where i can get the crimpers needed for an AAW wiring harness other than AAW? im just trying to see if there are cheaper options, i know they rent them but i am only home one week a month and i will either use them too long or forget i have them.

Re: wiring harness crimpers
I got a set from home depot. They work good probably not exactly like aaw, but did a nice job when I did my bulkhead at the firewall.

Re: wiring harness crimpers
Look for Packard terminal crimpers. I saw this one after searching Tool Aid S&G 18960 .
I bought a used pair that AAW originally sold and they are much better than the ratcheting type.

Re: wiring harness crimpers
Also, get an automatic wire stripper like this one. Worth it's weight in gold if you don't have one.

Re: wiring harness crimpers
I would spend the money and buy the right tool. I tried two different 35 dollar tools and both did not work as well as the aww tool I wasted 70 extra dollars. On top of that i just bought a second aww kit for the truck im working on now and plan on a third for my chevelle i will be restoring.

I use this. It has TONS of crimp dies available. I think I have like 6 or so different sets. It came highly recommended from our electronics department at work. They build harnesses all day. |

What dies do you own? It looks like 2095,2096, & 2097 would be a good place to start.

It really is a handy tool and the more dies you have the more often you find yourself using it. |
