OK guys - we have some very talented people here and I'm hoping to bring my wiring skills up a level.
What separates amateur wiring from a pro level? One item that comes to mind - no use of Harbor Freight connectors (which I am guilt of). What else comes to mind? |

HOLY COW these are nice to use. Thanks for the encouragement gentlemen. Yep, once you go to ratcheting crimpers with the appropriate dies you never go back. And your die set continuously increases in size. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Even a budget-friendly model like you have is worlds above the ubiquitous cheap pliers-type crimper. If you want to really have fun start pinning connectors with machined pins/sockets (see Deutsch DT or HDP20 series for relatively budget friendly stuff) with a HDT-48-00 crimper or similar with turret and depth stops.
