Thanks for the compliment. I spent 20 years as a field service tech on low building voltage systems. I made plenty of crimps and had to troubleshoot & fix them if they failed.
You are welcome, Roger. I spend a lot of time researching before making a video. I always learn something, even when it's something I have been doing for years. For this video, I read a NASA document about crimping. It was over 100 pages.
This was a very helpful and informative video and I wanted to thank you for making it. You have an excellent presentation style and everything was very clear and thoroughly explained. I've watched many "tutorial" type videos from content creators who could definitely learn a thing or two from you. I was doing research for a project I'm working on where I will need to install spade type crimp connectors when I stumbled onto your video. I was planning on purchasing some of the more expensive ratcheting style tools when I realized that I already have the exact tool that you're demonstrating here. I had never used it for anything but stripping wire before and didn't even remember that it actually had a crimp functionality. After watching your video I figured I'd give it a try before spending any more money on a new tool and to my surprise, it actually worked great. I'm actually kind of shocked at how strong the connection is for such a cheap and simple design. I could see spending the money on a higher quality tool if I were installing this type of connector on a regular basis in say a professional capacity, since those tools only require a single crimp per each termination. However for occasional projects around the house I really don't see the need. Not only did you teach me something but you also saved me some money. Thanks again! PS After watching some of your other videos, if I were to offer any constructive criticism at all I would say: it's 2021 what's with the 4x3 aspect ratio? LOL obviously that's just a nitpick and it doesn't decrease the effectiveness of a tutorial type video. It just gives the video a kind of "dated" look and feel.
Thank you for taking the time to write the thoughtful comment. I used the cheap tool showed in the video for many years while working on low voltage building systems... commercial fire alarms, nurse call systems, security systems etc. I've made hundreds of connections with it and so did my fellow techs. If you buy quality connectors and use the correct size you can still acheive an "A". The connection won't meed NASA standards, but it's unlikely are launching a rocket. I appreciate your feed back on the 4x3 format. So far all of the videos are shot on a Sony Cybershot camera. I didn't begin making the videos with the idea that there would be hundreds of them. I didn't know anything about cameras or photography. I just noticed a movie setting on the camera and went with it. It's probably time to get off that old camera. lol. Thanks for reminding me that I should update my technology.

Thank you for the very "easy to follow " video- I have been fighting these connectors forever; never sure I have a lasting connection; thanks, PATRICK.P
Generally, I don't do comments but your presentation and information has helped me considerably in understanding in how to use a basic crimper. Thanks for the effort and time you put into this video. Big thumbs up. :-)

excellent video! as a first-time crimper I have watched a few youtube vids on the subject in preparation but this is the ONLY one I have seen that explained the different parts of a spade (disconnect) terminal and how many times to crimp, where to crimp, metal or non-metal lining on the terminal. I feel I am now ready to make a decent crimp, thanks to you!
You are welcome. I've used a cheap tool as shown in the video to make hundreds of connections. I never had one fail. Buy quality connectors and use the correct size.
just like the people have already said: well explained, part's name and from generic to high performance tools. the detail of copper wire exposed -brush- is not only nice but very important! thanks a lot, ca.

You are welcome, Frederico. I've made hundreds of crimps, and when I did some research before making this video ( Including reading the NASA specs for making a crimp... that was a little over the top for something not going to space.) I found that a couple of my practices could be improved. I've been having fun making the videos and learning a few things too.

My Brother you are right that I am not english spoken but you know that what I am saying. If you make some thimble with this tool it was realy good so in next time show this practically.but your video lecture was good.
I'm having fun making the videos. I do a lot of research to make them accurate, interestingly I find that I've been doing some things wrong or have been shown the wrong way to do something. Thanks for the compliments and thank you for watching the videos.
At last I found a vid on how to double crimp using the generic tool, But you did not show which way up to crimp. FYI the larger curve on the tool is the one to crimp down the split section.
For insulated connectors is the orientation of the crimper important; concave half goes over the seam? You said so for non-insulated, but didn't make the point for insulated

Those holes are used to cut bolts. Open the tool to line up the two holes, thread the bolt into the desired length and close the tool. Softer metal bolts are cut easily, harder metal can be tough to cut.
When threading the bolt into the tool make sure the piece of bolt you want to save is started first into the threaded half of the tool. That way after cutting the bolt you unthread the shortened bolt and the tool acts as a thread chaser. Doing it the other way around and you will have a hard time getting the cut bolt to thread into anything.
Very nice, you have a good presentation style I like that a lot. I’ve been working with wire for over 50 years. The total prices you mentioned though are not that expensive. It would’ve been nice to see if you could have shown other tools but it again if you don’t own them that’s the problem and you’ll acquire them at some point hopefully. But I am using this video of yours to share with somebody to explain to them the basic techniques of crimping and joining two wires together. If you’re interested in electrical or other things you should check out my channel I have many playlists saved that I use for reference for other people and for myself. 👍
Thank you for the compliment. Those Gardner crimpers are so common and likely what many people who only use them a few times a year own. I was hoping to help those users increase the quality of the connections they make with that ubiquitous tool. I checked out your channel, those are great playlists.
Very easy to follow video, ...but how do you determine the size of the wires if they are not necessarily color coded or marked. I am trying to attach 2 new terminals to a positive blue wire and neg black wire pigtail connection, that will be installed on a fuel pump that will be submerged in the gas tank on my car. I'm not sure if I have to use special terminals for this job since they will always be inside the fuel tank. Any suggestions.? thanks
You could use a pair of wire strippers to get a close guess for the wire gauge. Close the strippers on the bare wire, find the hole that fits closest around the wire. I'm not sure which terminals would be best for inside a gas tank. I'd call tech support for one of the major manufacturers, they can help you.
Most likely it's 16 gauge, could be 18 gauge. Try shipping the wire with the 18 gauge if it cuts the insulation clean with no hassle (tugging) then it was 18, if not.. try out the 16 gauge slot. Check if you cut strands off if so then it's not right. Best of luck!
You are welcome. I know, the video is on the long side. I initially thought it would be a 2-3 minute video. It took way longer to give a thorough explanation on how to use a crimp tool/crimps. Thanks for watching.
I always crimp insulated terminals with non insulated crimper. I have done this since I had an issue with the insulated terminal crimper back in the early 70s. Through my career I have found many issues with the insulated crimper part not being done well. Up to you what you want to do but I speak from experiance and a lot of time chasing bad crimps.
There are special tools for that type of connector (the one with no insulation). There are too many tools/connectors for me to know them all. You'd have to do some research. I'd start by finding the connector in a catalog and then you can find the tool listed for the connector. I used to have to make up custom plugs for computer printers. I had a devil of a time finding the correct gold pins and the tool to make the crimp (The connectors on the pins looked similar to the connector at 9:01). If I remember correctly, the tool cost well over $100.
I believe it's called a reel crimp. They are tricky, you have to have the right tool for those. I used to use those to make custom pin connectors to interface with some low voltage building system equipment.
That's not the where the wire stripper is on the generic tool. The stripper is below, near the handle. It works a lot better than the crimper at stripping wire.
Rabia Iftikhar/Muhammad Iftikhar - I believe you are the same person. It appears that you are a non English speaker. I don't think you are being fair, how can you criticize a video when you don't understand the language?
Agreed, the tool is not a good one, but it's ubiquitous and what most people are going to use. The video is made for the people who are going to buy the $10 tool instead of using a hammer. Most people are not going to pay $100 or more to make a couple of connections.
Regarding the way the crimp is placed into the tool, YOU say exactly the opposite to what this video says: ruclips.net/video/kjSGCSwNuAg/видео.html So who do we believe? That one also says to twist the wires before inserting into the crimp.
My video is based on NASA standards and some other documentation/specs provided by the makers of the terminals. I can't speak for the research that others have done. Twisting the wire is definitely a no no. You might want to inquire what standards the other video creators have used to make their videos.
@@Know-How-Now I believe your method makes more sense than allowing the male or pointed part of the tool to push against the seam. That way makes me think that the seam would open up a little.

Good info! A person I trust on car issues even appears to do it wrong. His reasoning was the point pushes the wire back into the terminal, but per this site, too, you're right. Well done! knowhow.napaonline.com/how-to-use-crimp-terminals-the-right-way/
Hi Xavier, I'm sorry to hear you have had problems hearing the video. I just replayed the video and I have not experienced any audio problems. There are over 200 videos on the channel and close to 5 million views. You are the only one of the viewers who has experienced "very bad audio". You may want to try watching the video on another device.
Hi Sunny, sorry you didn't like the video. There was a lot of time spent to make this FREE video for you to watch. Let us know when you make your first video so we can critique it. NASA standards for crimping a terminal on a wire are over 100 pages long, so 10 minutes to help you select a reasonably priced tool, explain how to select the correct crimp and how to connect it to a wire is not an unreasonable amount of time.

Best video I’ve seen on crimping.
Thanks, I had a crimping set for quite some time, but now I have used it confidently.
You are welcome, Asim. It's my pleasure to help.
Nice to see someone who researched the actual names of parts of the crimp like the “brush”. Thanks.

No need to apologize.... Joe. It's OK to ask questions here.
Copper doesn’t oxidize from water or oils
thats right
You could use the wire stripper section to strip the cables, it does a great job and you wouldn't need two tools.
Theory is very long and practical method is very short if you want that viewers learn how to crimp with this tool then practical is must.

I left a similar comment on one of the other contrary videos but have not received a reply.
Good info! A person I trust on car issues even appears to do it wrong. His reasoning was the point pushes the wire back into the terminal, but per this site, too, you're right. Well done! knowhow.napaonline.com/how-to-use-crimp-terminals-the-right-way/
Mm
The crimping tool in the thumb nail is a piece of crap.
Yep, but it's the one most people are going to buy because that's what the big box stores sell.

Very bad audio.
Hi Xavier, I'm sorry to hear you have had problems hearing the video. I just replayed the video and I have not experienced any audio problems. There are over 200 videos on the channel and close to 5 million views. You are the only one of the viewers who has experienced "very bad audio". You may want to try watching the video on another device.
Too much rambling unfortunately :( now half way into the video not even one demonstration. moving on....
Hi Sunny, sorry you didn't like the video. There was a lot of time spent to make this FREE video for you to watch. Let us know when you make your first video so we can critique it. NASA standards for crimping a terminal on a wire are over 100 pages long, so 10 minutes to help you select a reasonably priced tool, explain how to select the correct crimp and how to connect it to a wire is not an unreasonable amount of time.
aww what's the matter, you're too stupid to figure anything out?
