That said, selling ferrule crimpers on woot is an interesting choice.
These pliers crimp a ferrule (metal sleeve] over the uninsulated end of the stranded wire, turning it into a solid mass, which is a more secure connection.
It's the hardware/mechanical equivalent of tinning the ends with solder. Plus it's quicker, cleaner, more consistent, and done with zero heat.
That said - this is a pretty sweet deal, and if I worked with ferrules enough I'd strongly consider buying one (and if I weren't as cheap, I probably would have bought one already). The obviously not as reliable and not UL listed cheap Chinese options at nearly a tenth of the price of this were good enough up until now. If I needed this for commercial or professional work this is a great deal.

I was trying to make the information relatable, but could have done a much better job with my phrasing/verbiage. My apologies to anyone confused or misled by my post.
Ferrules are always the preferred/superior choice.
