Gets the job done, but lacking in some of the small details.
The tool itself works as it should, no complaints there. Some of the smaller details are lacking, though. I wish there was some instructions on which die was for what type of thing to crimp. Not all are labelled, leaving me to just guess on what I should use. Additionally, the case is definitely no specifically made for these. It's better than no case, but there's a lot of extra elastic loops in it, and I really struggled to get the crimping tool out at first. Overall, it's a good value for the various dies you get, but it is lacking in some of the small details.

Perfect tool for the job. So perfect, I bought a second one so I don't have to switch dies.

Cheap but right ?? No !!! It works and can use dx attachments. The jaws fit all lmr 400, lmr 600 213 58 ..etc etc.. I haven't found one it doesnt fit ! Case is perfect fit. Not cheapo. I was 100% surprised. U need a strong grip,same pressure as the tool from " thewireguy". Very happy and wicked surprised..lol

The devil is in the details
I bought this tool twice as a friend walked off with my first one. Worked well with LMR-240/RG-8X, but today when I went to swap out the die for LMR-400 I ran into two problems. First was there was no hex wrench to remove the die screws. They are metric, so I had to go buy a metric key set. Next was getting off the screws - they are indeed soft, but with the right hex key they came out. When I went to crimp the LMR-400, it was apparent this was a bad tool. The crimp was floppy and loose. I went to a friend's house and he crimped it again with his tool, and voila, it was fine. I went back to the item in Amazon and found the problem. The "LMR-400" die is listed as being 11.00 mm. LMR-400 is 10.9mm (0.429"). A tenth of a mm might seem within tolerance but it's definitely not.

Good tool, but total lack of instructions!
There are no instructions whatsoever with the tool. The 5 sets of jaws are not identified, and there is no guidance as to what size die to use with a particular coax. If the manufacturer can advertise the wide variety of sizes the tool will crimp, it should include a listing of the appropriate tool setting for each. I had to look up the size for my coax from a different tool manufacturer! The tool crimps well - IF you can figure out what size to use!
