Pros & Cons
Pros
It takes some coordination and practice to get the rhythm down. The case latch is nicely so the entire kit stays secure and in one place. Opens a little large for one hand operation but it can be done.
Good quality tools at a good price. I appreciate that the kit came with everything that i needed. Good assortment of mandrels. I'm glad i bought this for my cable deck rail project.
Cons
What a pitiful tool. It's cheap garbage imo. Recommend 30 inch manual crimper. Piece of junk.
The crimp on this lever doesn't work. The hydraulic mechanism is garbage. Will no longer crimp after using it about 15-20 times. Go with a non-hydraulic crimper.

The cutter that comes in this set is useless

You basically have to gnaw the cable repeatedly while rotating it to get all the strands cut

By the time its finally cut the cable end is so frayed it wont fit into the barrel end of my deck cable rail fasteners to be crimped
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I ended up having to get creative by wrapping a single layer of electrical tape around the cable just below where i was going to cut
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
After gnawing through the cable i used a pair of pliers to try and straighten out all the twisted ends where the cutter bent the cable instead of cutting it
