ive heard that it has problems with good crimping

It dosent, you just have to set the shell a specific way depending on whether it was originally crimped 6 ways or 8 ways, here is a useful video that I used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgA4i9l_QCE

I never had a problem with crimping... But I was using Remington Gun Club, etc... I never tried any of the unfired hulls that can be purchased from companies like Ballistic Products.

I never had a problem but if i had to guess it's probably in need of tighter screwing.

I used a vise grip you can used a wire crimper if you have really strong hands but I found a vise grip worked nicely .

The bullet seating die will also crimp. The problem is that it is a bit tricky to set up but it can be done. I have mine set up to seat the bullet and crimp. Check out Youtube videos.

i am not an expert but i think that if you flip the sleeve over and crimp it twice it would work ok.

I haven't had that problem, but you need to buff it with a soft clean cloth or towel.

So far, I only used my crimper once. I used to on terminal lug, so far not too bad. Don't know why the size of the dye are all mentic.

While you could certainly try, I do not believe this is the correct crimper for these crimps. There is no alignment die to hold the crimp in place for proper crimping. I would say if you had one or two to do and lots of the many others that this tool is right for, buy it. If you have many of the Delphi (and specifically in bulk), this is no the tool to buy.

Note that the product name is "Compression Crimper." It does "crimp" the fitting to the cable - it just requires special compression fittings rather than the style which crimps the barrel of the fitting. BTW does a good job for me but does sometimes require a little adjustment if you switch brands of fittings.

I've had very little problem with the cord tangling. I'm not saying it never happens, but when it does it is only one twist and it is out.

I don't think you can fix it like that, just wait a couple of days and it will fix itself, besides, this is an issue that can be overlooked by the tool's coolness

I haven't had a problem with mine but I guess it could if you weren't paying attention to what you are doing. I really like it.

I don't know specifically regarding your crimper, but I did crimp with a crimper that I had for ordinary plugs. A second crimper I have looked like it wouldn't work, so I didn't try. Maybe you can get a view that will show you better. But the reviewers who said that you needed that brand are wrong.

The one I have has been fine. Sometimes people may cross-thread the hose fitting or get the fitting too tight.

Hello M you can go either way I crimped mine with the crimper on my stripper just take your time with each one I have never soldered my connections. There is nothing wrong with soldering it is a good idea if you have the time and ability, however if you just take your time with crimping you will be fine I have never had a crimp come apart and I am running around 3000 true watts now. Hope this helped you M. Take care

Hello Scott,I bought these crimpers earlier this summer. I have used them for both mono and wire leaders and making 'double hook rigs' and have not had the slightest problem. They're great. Jim

I bwlieve it is due to not having tightened it enough, tho I also believe there is a flaw in design which could help with this. It is VERY frustrating and after the 10th slip and catch, I am ready to send it back.....but when it is going well....what a beauty and so much safer than an elec chain saw or gas one.....
