I offered the reasonably priced tool for the one time user who doesnt wanna blow $80-$200 on a one or two time use crimper
Im a high voltage sparky, so I know what top of the line tools cost, not everyone wants or needs it and it turns people away from learning
Weatherpack / Metripack are Delphi weather resistant connectors uaed by GM from the factory. The name Delphi should have given it away

Hell mine have been in my 70s race car since i rewired it in 2010 without issue. The original molex connectors were open to the elements and all corroded. If you dont crimp correctly, anything will fail
I dont recommend buying SPECIFIC connectors at a store because theres a 1000% markup simply because the average person doesnt or cant make a new termination on their own, so they rape you

100s of thousands if not millions of cars rolled off an assembly line from the factory with them. Maybe you had some user error here

This may help some of you willing to learn
A word of advice,
the center crimp is the full power crimp on the copper
The weather seal crimp is LIGHT power, just to hold it
