Taking the worry out of wiring. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm just beginning a rewire of my whole truck with an AAW Classic Update Kit. Terrific product.

Good tools are a treasure and I recommend these to "take the worry out of any wiring job".

The crimper was bought new on eBay for the same price AAW wanted to rent the 2 crimping tools they have. The one I bought will do so much more and I get to keep it. It even does spark plug wires. It correctly crimps the terminal with one squeeze. Correctly folds the crimp over the bare wire portion AND the insullation all with one queeze. Awesome tool.

The wire stripper I bought from Home Depot. Ill never reach for another wire stripper although I have several others laying around. Precision is the only word I have to say. These are crimps I made tonight - first time using both tools. Not bragging here! I am sharing this info so others can enjoy the same tools and have less worry when installing or repairing any wiring job they might have.

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
I've used that type of strippers but never had a reason to get my own.

Looks great! I recently invested in some weather pack connectors and tools and must say having nice electrical tools makes all the difference in the world.
