00:00:00.256 --> 00:00:02.219
Hi, I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van

00:00:02.219 --> 00:00:05.077
Freedom. This is my YXGOOD solar crimping

00:00:05.077 --> 00:00:06.699
tool kit. I used it for all

00:00:06.699 --> 00:00:08.534
my solar-system wire connections.

00:00:08.704 --> 00:00:10.411
The tool and connectors worked well with

00:00:10.411 --> 00:00:11.879
no problems in my use.

00:00:11.938 --> 00:00:13.602
I also used the crimper for other

00:00:13.602 --> 00:00:15.288
connection work during the build.

00:00:15.437 --> 00:00:17.570
The matching product picture shows the ratcheting

00:00:17.570 --> 00:00:20.978
crimper, connector pairs and connector spanners.

00:00:21.142 --> 00:00:23.276
The metal contact, outer housing and hand

00:00:23.276 --> 00:00:24.748
tools have separate roles.

00:00:24.854 --> 00:00:26.561
The crimper forms the contact around the

00:00:26.561 --> 00:00:28.631
wire. The spanners work with the connector

00:00:28.652 --> 00:00:30.614
housing rather than doing that metal crimping

00:00:30.614 --> 00:00:34.478
operation. My roof-wiring photographs show grouped leads

00:00:34.478 --> 00:00:36.676
and the larger enclosure during the connection

00:00:36.825 --> 00:00:39.236
and routing work. They provide the wider

00:00:39.257 --> 00:00:41.938
electrical-build context around my tool purchases.

00:00:42.101 --> 00:00:44.746
The workshop footage illustrates general measuring and

00:00:44.746 --> 00:00:47.434
holding work. The kit picture identifies the

00:00:47.434 --> 00:00:49.461
solar-connection equipment I am reviewing.

00:00:49.567 --> 00:00:51.509
The useful distinction is between the contact

00:00:51.701 --> 00:00:53.853
and the housing. The contact is the

00:00:53.853 --> 00:00:55.561
metal part at the cable end.

00:00:55.603 --> 00:00:57.181
The housing and seal belong to the

00:00:57.181 --> 00:00:59.806
outer connector assembly. The tool's die position

00:00:59.869 --> 00:01:02.301
acts on the contact; the connector spanners

00:01:02.301 --> 00:01:04.190
work with another part of the assembly.

00:01:04.286 --> 00:01:06.825
My owner review records a positive experience.

00:01:06.846 --> 00:01:08.297
I used this kit for all my

00:01:08.297 --> 00:01:11.198
solar-system wire connections. The crimper and connectors

00:01:11.198 --> 00:01:13.075
worked well, with no problems in my

00:01:13.075 --> 00:01:14.910
use. I also reached for the crimper

00:01:14.910 --> 00:01:16.480
during other connection work.

00:01:16.598 --> 00:01:18.091
That repeated use is why the kit

00:01:18.091 --> 00:01:19.692
belongs in my build equipment.

00:01:19.712 --> 00:01:22.614
The larger roof enclosure and grouped-wire photographs

00:01:22.614 --> 00:01:24.576
show another part of organizing the electrical

00:01:24.576 --> 00:01:26.315
work. Routing the cable,

00:01:26.442 --> 00:01:28.405
forming a terminal connection and closing an

00:01:28.405 --> 00:01:30.155
enclosure are separate stages.

00:01:30.325 --> 00:01:32.629
The photographs give that build context beside

00:01:32.629 --> 00:01:34.955
the product picture, rather than showing every

00:01:34.976 --> 00:01:37.581
connection being made. My page compares two

00:01:37.601 --> 00:01:40.738
researched iCrimp kits. The quick-change kit uses

00:01:40.759 --> 00:01:43.554
interchangeable dies for several terminal styles.

00:01:43.660 --> 00:01:45.901
The dedicated solar kit groups its crimper

00:01:45.921 --> 00:01:48.637
with cutting, stripping and connector tools.

00:01:48.791 --> 00:01:50.797
Their matching pictures show those different tool

00:01:50.797 --> 00:01:53.229
selections. My firsthand account here is about

00:01:53.229 --> 00:01:55.683
the YXGOOD kit I actually used.

00:01:55.874 --> 00:01:57.879
Thanks for watching. I'm Steve Smith with

00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.378
Camper Van Freedom. The YXGOOD tool and

00:02:00.378 --> 00:02:02.853
connectors worked well throughout my solar wiring,

00:02:02.853 --> 00:02:04.218
and I used the crimper for other

00:02:04.218 --> 00:02:06.267
connections too. The full review,

00:02:06.352 --> 00:02:09.253
matching pictures, build context and current buying

00:02:09.253 --> 00:02:10.683
options are linked below.

00:02:10.832 --> 00:02:11.815
Until next time.
