Re: Restoring Rusty

with the connections / terminals picked out it was time to pick the right crimping tool, or proper attachments/dies I should say

now I really like this tool, it is of the rachetting variety however having to swap between shielded and non shielded dies is a pain

I do recommend two separate special purpose tools with different color handles to easily distinguish between the two

the key to all this is solid strong connections, if you can pull the terminals off by hand you are wasting your time

TOP TIP: pay no attention to the colored dots, use the snuggest opening no matter what color your terminal, sometimes these colors don't help if you were to use them as recommendations
