SAnyone familiar with TEMco indistrial? Kinna late to be asking about the legitimacy of this company lol but i ordered a hydro crimper from them a couple weeks ago. Havent even gotten a shipping tracking number or anything yet and no replys to multiple emails. Shipping was supposed to take up to 7days.

Honestly i dont know, i just read the details about that temco one and it seemed high quality and electrician grade (if thats even a thing). They sell a cheaper one too thats like $70 i think and a couple other cheaper ones. I wasnt really asking about the tool its self, just more about the companys track record. Just because i wasnt getting and responses from them, but i was able to talk to a rep already and sorted it out.
Whatever makes that crimper cost more than their own other crimpers, is why i want it i guess. I had another post asking about why some hydraulic crimpers are $30 and some are well over $1k even some $3k. Theres got to be more to it than just name brand, because even under the same name there are big differences in price. Its overkill, but thats fine with me, for $370 i dont mind. It seems to be worth alot more. You can look up TEMco TH0034

I checked em out. 12 ton crimper. It may be an ergonomic thing. Or made in one country versus another. But in the end, both products still compact wire and lugs until they are basically one solid material. Theres a pic in my build log where i re-crimp an old hammer-crimped lug. Crazy difference after a proper hydraulic crimp. I'll post another one where i cut the lug in half to show the copper inside. You cant even see individual wires, its like a solid block of copper afterward.
All good though bro. However you like to spend your mula. Just trying to add reassurance to the fact that many of us have used the $55 version with undeniably great results. Hopefully you get what youre looking for.
