HobbyKing JST-SH Connector Crimping Tool

Very good

This tool is not suitable for crimping JST SH contacts as per the product description.
The measured width of the small top jaw crimping cutout (inner) at the point where it forms the crimp is about 1.5mm. JST SH contacts are 0.8mm wide so the tool jaw which forms the crimp should have a width of no more than 1.0mm. When you try to crimp the JST SH contacts it just flattens the tabs rather than folding them over the wire and insulation.
The narrow jaws would best suit JST ZH contacts (ZH are 1.5mm pitch connectors and contact has width of 1.1mm). These are the connectors used for cable between Spektrum main Rx to satellite Rxs.
The wider jaw is about 1.7mm and would probably be suitable for crimping JST PH connectors (not PA) or maybe some versions of Molex 2.0mm pitch connectors.

Excellent.

The tool itself is not bad at all. Good qualit. However, trying to crimple servo connectors and 22 awg wire, this is not the tool. I can get a perfect crimp where the wire is naked. But the crimp doesnt get tight enough where it holds the insulation. So i cant push the connector to the plastic housing/connector. If i set the tool to make the crimp tighter it gets way to tight where the wire is naked. I tried all possible ways to setup this tool with no luck at all

Super tool at good price with fast delivery. Thanks.

So I broke a servo wire on my heli. I decided to buy this crimping tool and the connector kit and try to do it myself. I received it today, unpacked it and I saw those little terminals and thought to myself this is going to be a big pain in the ass! I carefully stripped the insulation from the three wires, put a terminal in the crimping, tool clicked it down 3 clicks and crimped the first wire. Took it out of the crimping tool and it looked great; pretty proud of myself. did the other two wires and the same great results. Now... I could tell you how great I am but it's really the crimping tool. This was the first time I did this. So the moral of the story is buy this tool it works great. There are a lot of Youtube videos that show you how to do this. Great tool HobbyKing!

Very nice product, good quality, and very usefull !

Why buy more expensive when you can find it here for half the price.

after making my own leads for years crimping the connectors with a set of pliers, I tried these out and was very impressed. The ratchet makes it easy to line everything up then just insert the wire and squeeze, a perfectly crimped connector was the result for me every time. Now I can do a set of three and put the plug on in about 2 minutes instead of the usual 5-6 that it was taking me, money well spent.

Easy to use, I can now make quality custom length servo leads in minutes. Add one to your next order.
