Lets Talk Open Barrel Crimpers - Reviews and Discussion

I bought A pico wiring # 0663T open barrel crimper tool, which seems be the same as the one linked eariler by @toolmanmike and a bunch of Pico 5950C connectors from my local automotive electrical supplier here. I was working repair my parking light wiring on my '62 Valiant.

I had to futtz with it a bit, as I wasted maybe 5-8 terminals before I realized that I had to trim the open barrel flags down a bit before it would work properly. Eventually I got acceptable crimps and now I should be in buisness. I am not sure if the are the best crimps ever, but I think thay will conduct voltage and current for my parking lamp.

Thanks for the info Matt and others, as well as a good how to found here elsewhere on the site.

Nicely done! They do take a little practice but they are good connectors!
