af8 crimp tool tightening?

(1/1)

coppercone2:
works great, be careful inserting strands. No-nogo gauge reassured me. 4 fails in a row.. bad day

coppercone2:
bought the go-nogo gauge so I don't waste peoples time with crimp troubleshooting

coppercone2:
go/no go gauge seems to say the tool is fine. Must have been some user error.. better work under a well lit magnifier this time

No one has seen a crimp tool that passes gauge test but still does not crimp have they?

coppercone2:
ok, it worked. I guess I must have kept losing wire strands during insertion.

So it seems that its a good tool after all.. just gotta be REALLY careful. Don't know how I managed to screw up 4 crimps in a row.......

with solder and large connectors it hardly matters if you lose a strand, with this thing you gotta be real good.
