Hopefully... West Marine in Solomons, MD was well intentioned by suggesting that I use their crimper. I looked at it and found that it was a nicropress swaging tool. I tried one crimp and much to my disappointment it made huge mess of the lug. If you find a loaner tool just make sure that it is the correct tool. The hammer crimp is many times better.
