Honda Electrical Crimping tool - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

So I have a number of Honda motorcycles. I am slowly redoing alot of the electrical. My local dealer has been kind enough to loan me the special crimper when needed, but i HATE borrowing tools! I am looking for the crimper that crimps the little bullet shaped connectors found on all Hondas. It crimps in a "W" essentially.

Looking online I find one that claims to be a "honda crimper" and its Brand name is "ricks".

Anyone know if that is the correct tool or where to find the correct tool?

i dont know,it just looks fancier then the one i have..i think any crimper would work. the wire ends looks right for a honda.

What Craig said, I'm no so sure the 'crimp' is as important as the type of connector you're using.
Don't get me wrong the crimp is important, but you know what I'm saying. Kind of like the Honda spark plug removal tool... which is just an 18mm thin walled socket.

These are one of the best wire crimpers you can buy, there made by thomas and betts

home depot has Klein tools that make a good crimper like the one above. for a tool like you showed try MSC online.

That would be correct. The rest posted are regular crimping tools for spade connectors.

Great tool, I've had one for a long time. I have type A but probably would have went with one of the others, cause you can change the crimp height

Those look like coax crimpers to me.... maybe similar to these?
