Sparkplug Wire Crimper tool

Hi all, I'm trying to find a universal Sparkplug Wire Crimper and cutter.

I just bought a set of 9mm leads and I have to do the coil lead myself.

So what I'm after is any info or leads on a Ignition lead crimper tool.

It is a tool that cuts- strips and crimps spark plug ignition lead connectors from 7 to 11mm.

I have found one on ebay but the seller only sells to USA and I need a company that ships to Australia.

Francis.

I'd be surprised if your local parts store didn't have anything.

MSD makes a tool that's supposed to work really good. I've been crimping mine with needle nose pliers for years.(individually fold the tabs around, pain-in-the-azz, but gets the job done)

I think Summit or Jegs will ship to you but you should email them to make sure first. I bought the MSD crimper and love it. I bought other jaws for RJ-45 and RJ-11 and use it at work all the time.

You would be so surprised how hard they are to get of here. They sell the MSD sets that need the ends crimped, but most guy's use a knife to cut the lead and pliers to squash the ends over.

I wanted to get a universal crimping tool that can do 9m leads not just the normal 8m.

I got a price from one auto store and $250 is the trade price! So if there is a company that will ship to Australia and the product is fairly cheap then I'll get it form them.
