Crimping Open Barrel Terminals

If you're here to post a moronic comment, like "Just use a proper crimper, dude," then move on and be stupid somewhere else.

This illustrates how to crimp an open barrel terminal with simple non-insulated crimping pliers. This video is featured in my Crimping Guide Page at https://www.240turbo.com/crimps.html.

This is the Thomas & Betts 112M I've used for 25 years.

A fancy ratcheting crimper will be EASIER for a non-experienced person, but if you DON'T HAVE a more fancy crimper, with a little practice this simple crimper will do just about anything, including small JT or JPT terminals. This is the only crimping tool I used for the first ten years when I first began building or repairing engine wire harnesses in the 1990s. Yes, I do now have a few other fancier crimpers with interchangeable dies, since NOW they're CHEAP, but more often than not, this is STILL my first go-to tool for most quick crimps.
