Also teams, if you are crimping your own Andersen connectors, you can actually purchase a hydraulic crimper from Harbor Freight for not too much money. We bought it a few years ago, and love it. Haven't had a lose crimp in years, and we even cut a few apart to inspect the test crimps and they are really solid.

That is a valid point. I would recomend pull testing them a better way.
