Here is my two cents worth Skipper.
First of all there are several flavors of crimpers.
Calibrated crimpers such as https://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Betts...89923685&sr=1-4&keywords=thomas+betts+crimper.
Regular crimpers such as this https://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Betts...9923685&sr=1-12&keywords=thomas+betts+crimper

Now here is the caveat Skipper and listen well young grasshopper.
The tool or the force DON'T MEAN ANYTHING if you are using cheap big box or Vato Zone crimp on terminals.
Look up Thomas Betts ,Panduit or 3M crimp terminals they actually make terminals that are the real deal.
See the OD of the barrel of the terminal is what compresses the wire so if you have cheap thin sheet metal folded over for a crimple barrel, (which is predominantly out there) will it supply as much force as copper ferule?
So don't send big money on a fancy crimp tool spend money on good terminals and you will be happy.
BTW I have used both Panduit and Thomas Betts and if installed correctly, the wire will break before any failure at the terminal.

Then we can get back to important discussions like what ever happened to your DA pad?

[DA...does he mean the sander you launched across the shop? /QUOTE]

Jimmy thats exactly what I meant and its been years since that thread I never did find out what happened.
Be nice to see the thread again.

Skipper buy good quality crimps and it wont crimp you style ........................ oh wait need to develope style!

See Skipper John has a good crimper is married and has kids, so your argument dont work.

Also about the crimping. George told me to dip the wire in anti-seize before crimping too. I would think copper based would be best. George you're slipping, you should have mentioned this but I guess you're so taken back by the tools getting launched and now the air rifle that you were overwhelmed. And your grief for missing JH.

Jim I woulda or shoulda but I wuz taking baby steps with the Skipper as case in point do you remember how many pictures of his feet were posted before he discovered shoes?

 

[gmakra1]

Jim I asked you to hold off on posting that picture now Scott's gonna get mad I'm stealing his thunder

 

[gmakra1]

OWWW! My HEAD!!

See Jim that is the reason I did not mention the copper never seize!

Gus you dont know the Skipper like I do.
He can talk the chicken off the bone, but he cant lift heavy things!
Ask him about when he wus a younger man trying to make a living feeling trees.
Lets just say he cant handle an ax all. Cuz if I remember the story correctly he swung the ax and the tree swung the ax back at the Skipper at a higher velocity.

The gum tree stump story Skipper!
Yeah so I miss spelled it so what

Gus the Skipper would never do that kinda o work.
He is a professional prankster.
One time he was sanding his fiberglass CJ tub right by were Beth his wife hung her fresh laundry to dry! (true story its in the threads)
I heard this from him when I visited him in FL.
He bought home some vegetables in a bag of course the Skipper thinks harmless snakes are vegetables too!
So when the misses opens the bag and starts pulling out the veggies she also gets a hand full of snake.
I wonder how long the Skipper slept outside for that one?
