    Have only just got home Daz, opened and closed them a few times, they are very 'positive' in action, just like a pair of vice grips. The throat is adjustable for height of final clamp. The wire stripper function is also adjustable, so you can set the stripper jaws exactly to the right diameter without needing the feel of a thousand butterfly eyelashes.

    Back to the cable ties....................................they dont have that big lug that yours has, hence they appear to be less usable for that function, but they do release ok.
    Purchase made.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Hopefully they crimp better than these;

    They're built well, I just don't find the crimp is as nice and tight as what my cheap pair do. I've had a few terminals pull off the wire after using them. I think perhaps wire and terminal size is much more critical as they have a set crimp depth.

    My cheap pair crimp like below and are always solid as.

    I had two sets of the first type and two of the second, both in the recycle bin. Sick of crimp connections failing. Combination of cheap/poor quality connectors and crappy crimpers.

    So i have posted a kit like this before but this one popped up in my ebay the other day and it looked like a really good collection 9f clips I did not have actually. Also to include 5he Plastic Trim removal tools was a winner, I have all of the tools but lost a couple so ordered it.

    It specifically has the trim clips that hold the GQ door cards on for the win!!











    These are just a BONUS though!!!! Look at these little jiggers!!!





    That will go well in the shed.

    Gave the new crimper a test run today. Its an absolute winner for crimp strength, however its on the semi difficult side getting the terminal into the jaws. There is a compound slicer plate that forms part of another function and its a bit tight when working in tight locations to get it all together. I was on my back crimping wires above the rear diiff, so its probably an extreme orientation. Anyway, I learnt to compensate one way and then the other. The outcome is the best I have had so far. The jaws will clamp down to a very firm finish, and the actual crimp height is regulated by the release lever to some degree. Happy with the purchase, @MudRunnerTD you should be happy i am guessing also.
