Re: Why you should buy a decent wire crimper

I'm not advocating purchasing more than one good wire crimper. The linked post quantitatively compare the different options out there, and help teams on tight budgets justify spending $50+ to replace a tool they already have, that may seem "ok" in their eyes currently.

The photo is illustrating the different types of crimpers which were benchmarked. Ranging from the $5 throwaway crimper/stripper combo tool that everyone starts with, all the way up to a $1000+ aerospace grade crimper.

Glad it was helpful. Goodluck this coming season.
