This is the Compass Marine Pro-DCT:
After nearly three years of testing, 63 tools in total both domestic & imported, I finally developed an excellent quality controlled cycle (ratcheting), vertical-action double-crimp tool & double crimp die. The dies in this tool are as close to the AMP tools performance as could be sourced without jumping up $200.00 in price.
The machining and tolerances are excellent and this tool represents a tremendous value in a double-crimping tool. Yes, I make a small margin, for the Marine How To web site, to keep it FREE, and I pass the savings onto you the readers at a very competitive price. Every little bit helps keep MarineHowTo.com a FREE site.
Some US companies also import this crimp frame, with their logo & dies, & sell it for $265.00 - $440.00. I sell it readers of www.MarineHowTo.com for $59.70 (NOW ON SALE $48.00) and have done all the leg work to ensure you are getting a tool that actually makes a reliable crimp for yellow red and blue insulated terminals.
Please don't be fooled by mainland Chinese look-a-like knock offs, with horribly sloppy dies. They will not perform the same as this tool does. Yes, this tool is imported. At the value I desired, and what boaters are willing to pay, it has to be.
This tool is made in Taiwan not made in mainland China, like the cheaper poor crimping tools are. You'll not find a better double crimping tool for the money and certainly won't find a quality vertical-action tool at this price or quality point, I know I bought & tested 63 of them.
