The item in my kit

I bought Qibaok Small-Connector Crimping Kit as part of my camper van equipment.

The Qibaok kit belongs to my purchased wiring tools. My roof-wiring diary documents the hands-on connection work around the boxes and cable routes, followed by pulling the grouped wiring into the van.

Where it fits my build

On Day 104 I pulled the roof wiring through the PVC route with fish tape and brought the cable groups into the van. I fitted plastic trim around the roof opening where the wires passed through.

I also finished the remaining light-wire connections, fitted the junction-box covers, joined the remaining PVC sections and tightened the metal ties around the route.

My build notes

This stage pulled together several earlier sessions of drilling boxes, fitting glands and arranging the roof hardware. The final cable entry was the point where all those separate roof routes met.

My notes show how much of the work was physical organization: pulling cables, keeping entry points accessible and closing boxes after the connections were finished.

The route into the van was a layout problem as much as a wiring task.

Alternative products

Two alternatives to compare

The two iCrimp hand tools use different small-terminal die ranges and handle layouts, with fewer connector supplies than the Qibaok assortment.

iCrimp Mini Open-Barrel Crimper

iCrimp Mini Open-Barrel Crimper

This compact hand tool crimps small open-barrel terminals in shaped die cavities. The narrow jaws provide access to individual terminal wings.

iCrimp Open-Barrel Terminal Tool

iCrimp Open-Barrel Terminal Tool

This hand crimper uses several die cavities for open-barrel terminals. The tool body provides a larger terminal range than the mini crimper format.
