Hi, I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van

00:00:02.219 --> 00:00:05.077
Freedom. This is my Qibaok small-connector crimping

00:00:05.077 --> 00:00:06.977
kit. I bought it for very small

00:00:06.997 --> 00:00:08.747
electronics wires and also used it for

00:00:08.747 --> 00:00:10.671
small butt connectors. It let me make

00:00:10.671 --> 00:00:12.847
small, tight crimps, and I found the

00:00:12.847 --> 00:00:14.810
kit good value. Here is how that

00:00:14.810 --> 00:00:17.430
smaller tool fits into my wiring equipment.

00:00:17.575 --> 00:00:19.580
The matching product picture shows the ratcheting

00:00:19.580 --> 00:00:21.884
hand crimper with connector housings and metal

00:00:21.884 --> 00:00:24.146
terminals. The assortment and the hand tool

00:00:24.146 --> 00:00:25.974
are separate parts of the purchase.

00:00:26.137 --> 00:00:27.844
The terminal makes the metal connection,

00:00:27.929 --> 00:00:30.062
while the housing organizes the finished connector

00:00:30.062 --> 00:00:32.409
parts. The tool supplies the shaped crimping

00:00:32.409 --> 00:00:34.798
action. My roof photographs show the broader

00:00:34.798 --> 00:00:36.877
connection and routing work during the build.

00:00:36.993 --> 00:00:38.358
I pulled the roof cables through the

00:00:38.358 --> 00:00:40.577
conduit route, fitted trim around the entry

00:00:40.577 --> 00:00:43.266
opening and completed the remaining light connections.

00:00:43.478 --> 00:00:46.306
Those pictures provide electrical-build context.

00:00:46.487 --> 00:00:49.005
The workshop footage illustrates general measuring and

00:00:49.005 --> 00:00:51.843
holding work. Small electronic terminals and large

00:00:51.864 --> 00:00:54.253
battery lugs are different working formats.

00:00:54.295 --> 00:00:56.994
Their shapes need different supporting die profiles.

00:00:57.174 --> 00:00:59.136
The metal terminal, the wire and the

00:00:59.136 --> 00:01:01.249
tool cavity each have their own role

00:01:01.270 --> 00:01:02.934
in the connection. A kit of small

00:01:02.934 --> 00:01:04.726
parts is a different purchase from a

00:01:04.726 --> 00:01:07.414
large cable-lug crimper. My experience with this

00:01:07.414 --> 00:01:09.233
kit was positive. I bought it for

00:01:09.233 --> 00:01:11.068
the very small wires in my electronics

00:01:11.068 --> 00:01:12.689
work and also used it on small

00:01:12.689 --> 00:01:14.353
butt connectors. The small,

00:01:14.353 --> 00:01:16.188
tight crimps were the result I wanted,

00:01:16.188 --> 00:01:17.917
and I found the kit good value.

00:01:18.065 --> 00:01:19.687
That is the actual use behind my

00:01:19.687 --> 00:01:22.349
review. The roof-entry photograph shows the grouped

00:01:22.349 --> 00:01:24.014
cables where they enter the van.

00:01:24.141 --> 00:01:26.360
The wider roof photograph records the later

00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:28.765
routing arrangement. These are parts of organizing

00:01:28.786 --> 00:01:31.004
the electrical work, separate from the tiny

00:01:31.004 --> 00:01:34.034
terminal operation itself. Keeping a connector assortment

00:01:34.034 --> 00:01:36.508
together also keeps those small components beside

00:01:36.508 --> 00:01:39.055
their hand tool. My page compares two

00:01:39.055 --> 00:01:41.871
researched iCrimp alternatives. One is a mini

00:01:41.871 --> 00:01:44.047
open-barrel crimper with narrow jaws.

00:01:44.132 --> 00:01:46.564
The other is a broader-range open-barrel hand

00:01:46.564 --> 00:01:48.313
tool with a different jaw and handle

00:01:48.313 --> 00:01:51.112
layout. Their matching pictures show tools rather

00:01:51.112 --> 00:01:53.161
than the same connector-supply assortment.

00:01:53.203 --> 00:01:55.379
Included parts and hand-tool format are different

00:01:55.379 --> 00:01:57.022
choices. Thanks for watching.

00:01:57.085 --> 00:01:59.234
I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van Freedom.

00:01:59.333 --> 00:02:00.954
The Qibaok kit gave me small,

00:02:00.954 --> 00:02:02.789
tight crimps and good value for my

00:02:02.789 --> 00:02:05.285
small-wire work. The full owner review,

00:02:05.391 --> 00:02:08.378

00:02:08.378 --> 00:02:10.171

00:02:10.341 --> 00:02:11.248
Until next time.
