For those who have a powerpole crimper that they like, would you say this feature on a crimper is beneficial? Does it make crimping faster / easier?
To be honest, I don't know. It's at the school locked up for the summer. It's one of the few things we forgot to grab. I vaguely remember there being a retention bar or something similar to the picture you posted, but I'm not positive.

I can say that the students picked up on it very quickly. We have only lost a few contacts and that was mainly during training. We have grown accustomed to this tool and debating on ordering a second.
