Howdy Dave:
I bought the more expensive Anderson PowerPole (APP) crimper and it works
beautifully....makes a great crimp and the wire(s) will not pull out.
I changed my entire station over to APP's along with my mobile FM rigs and
am glad that I did....I also use RigRunners at my 3 operating positions and
that sure makes hosing up the various pieces of gear a simple process.
You will not only make superb crimps with the tool but you will be very
popular in your ham community as you will be called upon to install APP's on
other hams gear after they see your superb power cables with APP's on them
(grin).

I bought the cheaper crimping tool together with the 15 and 30 Amp APP
connector set.
It does *not* give a satisfactory crimp - the wires can (and do) pul out
of the
connector..
I now solder the wires into the contacts.
The more expensive crimp tool, that presumably does a better job is
beyond my price range considering the few times I would use it...
YMMV......
