Works great, really good quality

Slices through wire-rope like a hot knife through butter.PROS: Turns wire rope into spaghetti. Crimps like a champ. Strong, durable. Good quality.CONS: Too big to use with a single hand.I snagged this beast to cut and crimp wire-rope for hanging tarpaulin, curtains, and lights on my pergola. It turned a Herculean task into a breeze. I’m thrilled I got it because using pincers and pliers felt like trying to cut steak with a spoon. The only hiccup? It’s so massive that you need both hands and the help of your feet tootsies to hold the wire and get the job done. My hands are smaller than the little average. I recommend this item.

Only used for small 1.5mm wire crimps for picture hanging. Easy to use, appears well made.

Very powerful. I don't understand the settings but it did the job I bought it to do .

tool has built in cutter which cuts 3mm straining wire easily--but I did not find it easy to use--it is big and heavy but I struggled to be truthful--it certainly isn't a breeze in use but I will put that down to my inexperience with this item--must add --it is solid and compresses the fittings well but it takes a little force to use--don't let this put you off purchasing this as with practice it should be fine--I have not used one of these before so that probably explains my comments
