A good quality tool for crimping really small connectors (e.g. Molex Picoblade). Prior to this purchase, I had been using cheaper crimpers to crimp slightly larger connectors. But they weren't fine enough to crimp 1.25mm spacing connectors. As it turns out, these PA-09 crimpers also handled the larger connectors better than the cheap crimpers. I should have just bought these a few years ago and saved myself money in the long run.

I think these pliers are very precise and feel solid and enduring. Crimping such small parts is now just a strain for my eyes - as long as I take my time crimping, the result is perfect. They are a bit pricey, but very nice in use - and perhaps will outlast my crimping needs. Highly reccommended!

Item received is a bit different from pictures (latch, engraving, axle screw and nut), but according to JP manufacturer's website (which is not easy to find, old version is still listed on global site main tool page and product catalog) it is a slightly refreshed version and it is currently manufactured in Taiwan (see picture). So item is original, crimps perfectly, highly recommended.

I wanted an open-barrel crimper without having to pay big bucks for an original Molex. I've used Engineer tools before and, while they're not indestructible like some Knipex or other expensive brands, they're stylish, comfortable to use and produce great results. The PA-09 certainly deserves it's reputation!

After unsuccessfully going through many budget tools to crimp DUPONT Terminals properly, this tool finally did it. Superb quality! Not cheap but very simple to use and it crimps perfectly! Only small drawback, it requires 2 operations per crimp. Small price to pay for less frustration with bad crimps!
