Hey Pascal, when you crimp uninsulated terminals, you want the dimple of the die to crimp the opposite side of the split in the terminal barrel. This is per manufacture instructions for the terminals. Thanks for taking the time to make this video with the close up shots of the crimper tool in action.
At 12:05 it wasnt a different crimp because of the "different tools" or parts where it squeezes; you had the tool flipped upside down and the wire was coming in from the right side of the crimper instead of the left side for the prior yellow terminal. It will never come out, which is correct, because the strongest part of the crimp was on the insulation. The two imprinted dots should be on the terminal end, and the crimper doesnt crimp as hard on the standing wire end when used in the correct orientation. Anyways, I have this crimper and needed to turn the adjustment wheel to one less than max for these style of terminals, otherwise the wire could consistently be easily pulled out. I was using a 16 AWG wire in a blue 14-18 insulated terminal. Still a good tool but I wish the adjustment wheel was easier to rotate. You end up scratching up the metal trying to make an adjustment.
Thanks for the review, I bought this crimper but find it really struggles with yellow pvc insulated terminals. I only have A and A5 dies, but they are not great. Do you think the C will do the job? I also tried to do an Anderson plug lug (for 12AWG) using the B die but it made no indentation whatsoever. I question this Wirefy now. But like I said, thanks for the review.
As for powerpole (Anderson) connections, you need a special die. It will have 15 30 45 on it which refers to the amperage. I checked the extra dies from Wirefy here amzn.to/3rFx2MG and they do not seem to have this die. I will check third party one's later. As you can see on the list, B & C are for non-insulated and open-barrel respectively. If die A is not crimping your PVC terminals good enough, then you probably need to adjust the crimping pressure on the side of the tool.
¿Qué modelo de crimpadora tienes? hay dos versiones de crimpadora Wirefy, la de 8.7 pulgadas que es la que aparece en este video, y la de 9 pulgadas (es más cara, promete menos esfuerzo para ponchar terminales). No he encontrado un video que me aclare si la diferencia de palanca para ponchar las terminales si varía mucho entre los modelos de 8.7 y 9 pulgadas. Tengo una crimpadora Klein Tools para terminales aislados, pero a veces cuando requiero crimpar conectores a tope termino dolido de la mano por la fuerza que debo aplicar. ¡Espero me digas tu experiencia!
@@donaldovelecesapolinar9047 que tal! Te puedo recomendar sin duda la crimpeadora VK-9CQK o VX-9CQK, tiene mordazas 5 intercambiables, la acabo de adquirir y de verdad senti más ligero el apriete y justo lo comentaba con un compañero ya que tenía una SN48B y si crimpa a bien pero era ponerle mucha fuerza y la VK-9CQK Y VX-9CQK es de 9 pulgadas.
The tool in the video I bought here amzn.to/3UCXIY1 It has 5 dies and is 9" long. The smaller ones are just over 6", and the dies are screwed in. The 6" for heatshrink is here: amzn.to/3LVSiUp and the pvc/nylon here: amzn.to/3S83LSS I recommend the 9" over the smaller ones. Thank you for watching
I am glad that was of help to you. I recorded more details on crimping in a playlist over on my other channel ruclips.net/p/PLIxc1t09CmIynf9uzuXQdhdKdBfIwnD1u Thank you for watching
The wire goes in the side with the colored dots and/or markings. There is an error on behalf of Wirefy on the Amazon photo page, where they have the crimp sticking out on the marking side.
I am not sure. Maybe you should try a different brand. Here is me doing one on my other channel. Probably the same clip, I am not sure: ruclips.net/video/2K3BqW_FGWw/видео.htmlsi=V_70bD3EQZkp0Mmp&t=104

Yes. I could not get the proper terminals to demonstrate. Thank you for watching
Also at 12:00 he has the crimper upside down and crimps the insulated blue terminal backwards.
@@rsb3006 The wire goes in on the side with the colored markers. Wirefy has an error on one of their photos.
I've used this tool for years and it's worth buying.
Yes, it is a great crimper. Thank you for watching
Nicd job on the Review. Thank you for sharing and wish you great success in your youtube journey
Thank you, Eddie. This is actually my new 3rd channel. I must be a glutton for punishment 😊Thank you for watching
@@Boopolo oh wow, are your othwr channels doing well.?? They should be.
Not great, as I do not have enough time for them. ruclips.net/user/Irishchippy & ruclips.net/user/grownglow
Thank you for your review. It was very helpful!
I am so glad it was helpful, Emil. Thank you for watching

I bought this crimper and am finding the yellow isn't crimping tight. Is that the issue you're having too?
Exelente video! Tenia el wirefy pero migre a las mordazas SN series y crimpan mucho mejor! Saludos!!
Thank you. Maybe I will try them at a later date. Thank you for watching

Please tell me where to find your video about wirefy crimping the pin connector male and female.
There are a few on one of my other channels: ruclips.net/user/IrishChippy
On the “insulated terminals” the 2 dots go closest to the wire or opposite?
Yes, you are correct. It was mentioned here before. I turned it upside down
Sorry, still confused, the 2 dots go towards the wire (like in your video) or towards the end of the terminal.
The wire goes in the side with the colored dots and/or markings. There is an error on behalf of Wirefy on the Amazon photo page, where they have the crimp sticking out on the marking side.
Those pliers is Wirefy crmp 01?
Please explain. pliers? crmp 01?

im using the open barral at .5 and they get so stuck in the die i have to pry them out with a pick or they break when pulling them out
