Let me start by saying this Noxtren crimping kit has become my go-to for all wiring projects. The moment I unboxed it, the professional feel of the crimping tool stood out - those wide lugs make crimping feel effortless compared to my old hardware store tools.
The real star here is the ratcheting crimper. That satisfying click when you achieve a perfect crimp? Chef's kiss! I've used it on everything from delicate sprinkler wires to thick 14AWG cables without a single failed connection. The color-coded markers are genius when you're working with different wire sizes.
Now about those heat shrink connectors - they're fantastic. When heated properly (I use my trusty butane torch), they form waterproof seals that look factory-made. The adhesive lining really does its job, creating connections I'd trust in marine environments.
The wire stripper... well, it's the kit's Achilles' heel. While it starts strong with clean cuts, mine developed a grip issue after moderate use. Now I have to assist it with finger pressure, which isn't ideal when working with multiple wires. The stripping action can be inconsistent too - sometimes leaving angled cuts rather than clean rings.
The included storage case keeps all 220 connectors organized (though mine arrived with a small crack), and having all these sizes readily available has saved me countless trips to the hardware store mid-project.
Would I recommend this? Absolutely - if you need reliable crimps and heat shrink connections. Just keep your old strippers handy as backup. For under $50, this kit delivers professional results that outperform most DIY-grade tools I've tried.
