They did a great job on most of the connectors, but there where some connectors that took a bit of initial tweaking to fit inside the jaws. I'm not sure if the terminals are just extra thick, or if the crimpers I bought weren't for the bigger connectors, but I made it work. I'd say these worked great on about 90-95% of the connectors.
Great! I would rather buy a pair then do the rental process with AAW. Better to have a tool, then not.

Thats what I figured, but it was attached when I pulled the engine, almost positive.
