Can we talk about the $210 crimper that paid for itself in one trip?
Back when I started out, we had a ratcheting crimper in the toolbox that was held together with tape and hope, and I figured any crimper would do the job. Then I bought a decent set for about $210 out of my own pocket, and the difference in terminal pull tests was clear right away, no more chasing loose pins on a Friday afternoon. A guy named Dale at the hangar in Wichita told me a bad crimp will find you at 30,000 feet, and that stuck with me more than any class did. Curious what the rest of you keep in your own box that was worth the money, and what turned out to be a waste.
