Crimping tool

[J D 8]

Would like a crimping tool to make up servo leads with Futaba type connectors.

Any recommended would be helpful as I just can not locate one except in China.

Thanks.

And from HobbyKing too, I've had one for 4 years and it does the job well.

I got mine from 4-Max - does the job perfectly.

I also have the HobbyKing tool as linked by Ron. You can make a good job with it but one caveat. The jaws have two slots, one narrow, the second slightly wider, I think for heavier gauge wire. I now only use the narrow slot as that way I know the crimped on connector will actually fit into the plug body!

If you are only making up servo leads, not a problem. For battery connectors choice of wire, insulation not too fat and bendy, is critical to an easy job.

Thanks all for the info, will probably go with the Hobby king as will have only now and then use. I have another crimper for larger wires. Cheers.
