All tools are purpose-built for automotive wiring tasks: they create repeatable crimps suited to closed-barrel Deutsch contacts and open-barrel Weather Pack terminals, while the extraction tools speed removal without damaging housings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat connectors and wire sizes does this kit handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IWISS KIT-DC02 focuses on the most common automotive connectors. It includes ratcheting Deutsch crimpers for Size 16 and Size 20 solid contacts and a Weather Pack-compatible crimper that supports Metri-Pack 150, Metri-Pack 280, and Weather Pack lines. This covers a wide range of AWG gauges commonly used in vehicle harnesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeutsch crimpers: IWD-16 and IWD-20 for Size 16 and Size 20 closed-barrel contacts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeather Pack\/Metri-Pack crimper: IWC-1424B supporting Metri-Pack 150 \u0026amp; 280 and Weather Pack terminals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire gauge compatibility: suitable for AWG 24–12 on open-barrel Weather Pack terminals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTerminal removal tools: compatible with Deutsch DT\/DTM and Delphi Weather Pack\/Metri-Pack housings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do the crimpers ensure consistent, reliable crimps?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach crimper in the set uses a ratcheting action or dedicated die geometry to deliver repeatable compression and controlled deformation of the terminal barrel. Deutsch crimpers form a 4-way indent and an 8-impression crimp pattern on closed-barrel contacts, producing a strong mechanical and electrical connection. The Weather Pack crimper is shaped for proper open-barrel folding on Metri-Pack and Weather Pack terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIWD-16 \u0026amp; IWD-20 ratcheting jaws for uniform 4-way\/8-impression crimps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIWC-1424B die profile for correct open-barrel fold on Metri-Pack\/Weather Pack terminals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRatcheting release ensures full crimp cycle before jaw opening, preventing under-crimps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to replicate OEM crimp geometries used in factory harnesses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this kit remove pins and repair existing connectors without damage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the kit includes four terminal extraction tools made to release pins from common automotive housings safely. These tools are thin, shaped for the terminal latch, and sized to fit Delphi Weather Pack, Metri-Pack, and Deutsch DT\/DTM connector cavities. Using the correct extractor reduces the risk of bending terminals or cracking housings when servicing wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour extraction tools sized for widely used automotive connector families.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlim profiles to access retention tangs without deforming terminals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAllows reuse of housings and terminals when replacing damaged wires or pins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSimplifies pigtail fabrication and accessory wiring while preserving connector integrity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this kit for? IWISS iCrimp KIT-DC02 is tailored for automotive DIYers, mechanics, marine electricians, and restoration specialists who need a compact, professional-grade set to create or repair factory-style, weather-sealed connections. If you work on vehicle wiring harnesses, build custom pigtails, or replace damaged connector pins, this kit provides the crimp profiles and extraction tools typically found in professional workshops — without requiring multiple single-purpose tools. It’s especially useful when you want to match OEM crimp geometry for reliability and corrosion-resistant, weather-tight assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the kit support both Deutsch and Weather Pack connectors?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
