It's a ratcheting crimper. It's a LOT more "idiot-proof" than a normal crimper/stripper combination. Means that you lose crimps a lot less often. And it's only 100 credits...


BUT, pay attention: It's meant for #8 to #1, and most FIRST teams won't use anything thicker than #6 (battery cables) or maybe #4 (same use).
