Re: [DFTF] Anderson Powerpole Connectors...

Has any of our Ansel Adams wannabes here on CD taken some close-up, high resolution shots of good, bad, and ugly crimps? It's one thing to give a description or a tug-test mention and quite another to claim that a specific crimper is doing or not doing the job. I've got a crimper that I've used for nearly 50 years. It puts a dimple into the connector such that Herculean effort is required to break the result. Most tested times, the wire breaks and there are still crimped strands inside the connector. I may just make a gallery of crimps and the tools that made them, unless someone beats me to it.
