I think he means the 1832. That what I have. No rachtet.Don't like the look of that one much and think TH1833 would be the better choice as those and 1846 have the fine adjustment.

Not today, but last week, I bought some heatshrink tubing, some TO3 mica washers & spacers, a knob to fit a 1/4' shaft pot, & a useless coax crimping tool!
The one I've used for years has disappeared, so I needed another, & bought this thing from Jaycar.
Problem is, it doesn't crimp, running out of travel before it can do so!Which one ?
Recently got their TH1846 but not used it much yet.
Figured the handle is a generic type that will take the many various crimp heads/dies that can be sourced online.

It's a TH1833, & yes, it has a ratchet.
The ones at all my jobs had proper self-evident adjustments, & my only "El Cheapo" (the lost one), worked OK from scratch.
The only thing that looks like it is possibly an adjustment, is a small hole next to one of the pivots.
I will have another look tomorrow, & if I can't find any adjustment, back it goes.

Even though I have a desoldering gun, I liked the looks of this thing and the silicone tube just makes sense.

How effective it is IDK however I'm interested in what you find.

I double checked that the Oz Jaycar picture of the TH1833 was the same as the NZ one, which it is, & similarly, shows the adjustment part.
Unfortunately, that bit is conspicuously absent in the one I bought!
I will have to go back & see if it is a "one off" or if they have found a new, cheaper OEM for these things!

Maybe you should take a coax cable into Jaycar for in-shop tests of their crimpers.

Engineer-brand stuff generally looks decent, but I am surprised there is no guard for the plunger on that - easy to take an eye out.
Some germanium transistors for repairs.
