Fluke 11294000 Need-L-Lock
vs.
Jonard JIC22148 Combo-Crimper

QUICK RESULTS: Both are very good tools. The Jonard is better in several ways, and costs a bit more.
The Jonard is about 5/16 inch longer than the Fluke, but, more importantly, the distance from the pivot point to the end of the handles is about 7/16 inch longer than the Fluke, providing greater leverage for crimping, grabbing and cutting.The Jonard has serrated jaws below its pivot point, suitable for gripping and pulling, and it can crimp "B" wire connectors (NOT gel-filled).The Jonard nose is narrower, making it a bit easier to reach into tight spaces.The Fluke nose is longer, so it can reach into deeper spots.The Jonard jaws open about 3/8 inch farther than the Fluke jaws (unless you push the Fluke really hard).The Jonard has more space between the handles, and is more comfortable to use, and easier to flip open with your index finger.Both have similar crimping jaws for UR/UG/UY-type splice connectors.Both have similar stripping holes for 24-gage wire.Both have similar wire cutting blades.Both have similar cushioned handles. Fluke is orange, Jonard is yellow.Jonard has a lifetime warranty. Fluke has an 18-month warranty. | Regular price: $35.00 Sale price: $28.00 |
