Knoweasy Deutsch Crimper Kits for Deutsch DT Connectors - Complete

In this review the Knoweasy Deutsch Crimper Kits are judged as a practical, budget-friendly toolkit for hobbyists and technicians who work on automotive and off-road wiring. The kit stands out because it brings together specialist crimpers for multiple Deutsch connector sizes, a Weather Pack crimper and open barrel crimper, plus pin removal tools in one package, making it a single purchase for pinning and depinning tasks. For anyone regularly servicing cars, trucks, RVs, motorcycles or boats, the biggest reason to buy is the kit's breadth of compatible tools that remove the need to source individual tools.

Key Features

• Complete Automotive Wiring Kit: Provides a full set of tools for pinning and depinning a wide range of automotive connectors so users can work on cars, RVs, trucks and boats without extra purchases.
• Deutsch Connector Crimping Set: Includes KN-16, KN-12 and KN-20 crimpers for Size 16, Size 12 and Size 20 solid pins and sockets, which fits Deutsch DT, DTP, DTM and HD10 connectors for reliable pin crimps.
• Weather Pack Crimping Tool: KN-1424B crimps Metri-Pack 150 & 280 and Weather Pack connectors, ensuring terminals and seals are seated correctly for a weatherproof connection.
• Open Barrel Crimper: KN-1424A handles non-insulated open barrel OEM terminals with five crimp stations for precise crimps over wire and insulation.
• Pin Removal Tools Included: Kit contains a Deutsch removal tool and depin tools for Weather Pack and Deutsch DT family connectors, allowing safe terminal release without damaging harnesses.

Who It's For

The Knoweasy kit is well suited to automotive DIYers, independent mechanics and race teams who need an affordable, compact set of crimpers that covers common Deutsch and Weather Pack connector work. It is also useful for marine technicians and custom wiring installers who benefit from the included depinning tools and the mix of closed and open barrel crimpers.

Those who should look elsewhere include heavy production shops that demand industrial bench crimpers with guaranteed repeatable crimp force and users who require factory-certified tooling; some customers report mixed results on crimp strength and leverage, so high-volume professional fleets may prefer higher-end, calibrated equipment.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Wide compatibility across Deutsch DT, DTP, DTM and HD10 connectors and Weather Pack terminals, reducing the need for multiple separate tools.

Cons

• Crimp strength and crimper stability are mixed in user reports, so results can vary with user technique and wire size.
