I am starting to think these may be the best way to go.
insulated heat shrink connectors along with one good ratcheting insulated connector crimper, for all male, female and butt connectors 22-18, 16-14, 12-10. vs bouncing from tool to tool, depending on size of connector and style of connector. pic is of an low dollar partially insulated connector, not a fully insulated heat shrink style connector. also good to know that the bump on the crimper should be on the opposite side of the seam on the connector. but you guys already knew this : ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS_YS-F9Z2E this also looks like a handy tool to have as well for the heavy guage stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxavPsio2iw Attached image(s) |

QUOTE I always use real ratching crimpers (certainly not the lower two in your picture, the top might be OK) and never solder. I love those crimpers on the bottom!! They are by far the best tool I have ever owned! The ratching ones have a tendancy to not crimp enough to hold the wire snug as they get older! The ones in the bottom of the photo are the bomb! From 1989 to 1995 I would install 5-8 cellular phones per day in cars, trucks & limos and I never had one come back for a bad crimp! Lets say 6.5x5 days a week = 32.5x48 weeks per year =1560 x7 years = 10,920 mobile installs! Sorry my $.02!! |
