<div>Thanks, that's interesting as they look like the exact same crimpers i have, mine came with the red blue yellow die for the insulated connectors used in cars/bikes and works great for them.</div><div>The die i ordered for the 2.54mm pins was a hs type from aliexpress and fits the crimper but i must have picked the wrong die as it doesn't crimp tight enough, do you know which one works for the generic 2.54mm pins/plugs?

<p>I have a similar set of ratchet crimpers, when I was looking in
to it I discovered that the price of crimpers seems to depend a
lot on which die comes with it. I bought a set of crimpers with
the wrong die from Farnell and the die I wanted separately from I
think CPC for less money than the crimpers with the correct die
from either place.</p>
<p>These are my crimpers:

<p>They are compatible with what aliexpress calls HS crimpers when
shopping for additional dies.<br clear="none">

I need to make a bunch of connectors for 2.54mm pin headers (the
type used on the pi and arduino). I have a die for my crimper
which supposedly works for these but I've had pretty poor results
with it so i was thinking of getting a new set, something like
this one which includes the crimp tool and the connectors and
housings-

<div>Does anyone have any experience with these (Chinese?)
crimpers, are they worth bothering with? The proper tool for
these connectors is several times the price and more than i
could justify spending.</div>
