Crimping Tool Sets Compared: 3 Listings
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
The set does not contain a single YWNEGWE listing, so this page cannot compare that brand. What it does contain is three iCRIMP crimping listings: a PEX crimp and cut kit, a ratcheting crimp set with quick change jaws, and an open barrel terminal crimper. This page compares those three on jaws, size range, weight and handle. A fourth research listing, an RJ45 network crimp kit, is a different type of crimper for modular connectors, so it is left out. The research listing was checked on 2026-10-12 and the extra listings on 2026-10-20.
No crimp was made for this page. The figures come from listing fields and bullets, and conflicting fields are shown side by side.
Quick answer
For a ratcheting set with interchangeable jaws, the iCrimp Ratchet Crimping Tool Set lists eight pieces, six quick exchange jaws, and an AWG 20-2 range in its title. For crimping open barrel terminals in the 24 to 14 AWG range, the IWS-1424A open barrel crimper is the listing built for that job. For PEX pipe connections with clamps, the PEX kit is the only listing in this set that covers that job.

How the set was chosen
The iCRIMP PEX kit was the research listing that matched the crimper keyword. The ratchet set and the open barrel crimper were added as extras because both are crimping tools from the same brand family. The RJ45 network crimp kit in the research set was left out because it is built for modular network connectors, which is a different product type. Facts come from listing fields and bullets only.

Worked example: weight of the set against one tool
The ratchet set weighs 3.45 pounds. The open barrel crimper weighs 7 ounces, which is 0.4375 pounds. Dividing gives about 7.9, so the set is roughly eight times as heavy as the single open barrel tool. The set includes a crimper, a cutter and stripper, and six jaws, so the extra weight is the set’s added parts rather than a heavier crimper head.
Next, compare the piece counts. The ratchet set lists eight pieces. Its six quick exchange jaws make up six of the eight, so the jaws alone account for three quarters of the set’s count as listed.
What the listings do not say
No YWNEGWE listing is in this set, so this page cannot say how that brand compares. The PEX kit gives no model and no weight. The ratchet set’s size field reads replacement die, one only, while its title gives a range of AWG 20-2, so the range is shown as the title states it and the field is noted. None of the listings states a crimp force, a crimp count or a warranty. This page does not test crimp quality.
Frequently asked questions

No. The research set and the extra listings do not include a YWNEGWE product, so this page does not compare that brand.
Which crimper covers the widest AWG range?
The ratchet set’s title gives AWG 20-2. The open barrel crimper gives AWG 24-14. The title range is the wider one as printed.
How many jaws come with the ratchet set?
The bullets say six quick exchange jaws come with the set, which lists eight pieces in total.
Does the PEX kit include clamps?
Yes. The bullets say it includes 20 clamps of 1/2 inch and 10 clamps of 3/4 inch.
Conclusion
Pick the ratchet set for a kit with interchangeable jaws, the open barrel crimper for stamped terminals in the 24 to 14 AWG range, and the PEX kit for pipe connections. The YWNEGWE comparison the keyword asks for cannot be made from the listings in this set.
