You'll be very hard pressed to find a ratcheting crimper that will do non-insulated spade terminals for less than $50.bill said:Can someone recommend an inexpensive ratcheting crimper for the spade terminals? I'd like something under $50 bucks. It will go mostly unused but I still don't want to buy a piece of garbage.
I bought a TRIcrimp to use for Anderson Powerpole connectors for $40 and use it on a fairly regular basis. If I was wanting to upgrade to a ratcheting crimper for other types of connectors, I would spend the $55 for the die accessory kit for the TRIcrimp as it covers non-insulated and insulated connectors from about 6 awg to 22 awg.
