HI Carl, I used that tool for a couple of years, and found it fine. I did eventually switch to a Rennsteig crimper for H4 connectors but only because I found a great deal on eBay. I wouldn’t have any qualms about using the Amphenol-branded tool. It definitely doesn’t have the quality of the Rennsteig tool but it crimped fine and seemed like it would have decent life for the money.
