I don't either, but I just ordered one...we'll see if it'll stand up to
more than one crimp cycle--unlike the HF "Greenlee" knockoff punch set
that was so soft the threads simply pulled out of the die on the first
attempt through nothing more than a handy box wall...

Sometimes cheap is just cheap; sometimes a low price is "inexpensive"
and on rare occasions a "bargain"

We'll see which classification these fall into!

Guess that I am a sucker also. At that price I ordered one. I have
several good quality ones, but might be good to stick in my 'emergency'
tool bag. One I just keep handy to grab to take places I may need a
tool. Sort of like the $ 29.95 tool kit from HF. Small and flat and I
keep it in my truck. Not much but may get me out of a jam.


I never understood that. Why carry junk tools for an "emergency" when
you may only have one chance to get home. Rounding off bolts,
stripping out screw heads and making bad splices is not going to
improve your chances of getting the job done when you need it the
most.
