Before you buy any of those crimpers, I suggest reading this: http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/wire_termination.
I am not saying not to buy the $10 crimper (I might buy one myself), but you probably want to be aware of the limitations. And one warning about CT tools: check what standard they use. If they use standard connectors that are readily available from other places – good; but if they support their own or some exotic vendor’s, beware. CT is notorious for discontinuing support for devices it used to sell (sometimes even for the ones they still sell) Marek C270, s/v Legato Ottawa, ON From: Dennis C. via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2015 1:15 PM To: CnClist Subject: Stus-List Crimper I use the Ancor double crimper. The additional price isn't much when spread over several years. My reasoning for using the Ancor crimper is that I exclusively use Ancor insulated connectors. Not all crimpers are the same. Some may be designed for AWG connectors, some for whatever?? connectors. It may not make a big difference but then again...... There are several "brand" crimpers out there: Greenlee, Klien, etc. They may simply be the same as the cheap ones with a brand logo on them. Who knows these days? Dennis C.
