The tool recommended by Elecraft in the assembly instructions for their power supply cable kit is the West Mountain Radio PWRCrimp Powerpole Crimp tool with a #02 die (www.westmountainradio.com/PWRcrimp.htm).
I don't have any personal experience with it. I solder my terminals onto the leads. It only takes a minute and produces an excellent, dependable connection. If I were assembling hundreds of terminals every day I'd buy the crimper in a flash, but only if I needed to do very large quantities in a short time. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Whats the recommended tool for this. I'm going to buy a tool once and I'm willing to pay the funds for a good one but would like to know a good reputable source to find the tool that will give a good price. I'd like the tool to be specifically (first use) for building my K3 so that's the main goal. Then I'm sure that some day I'll convert everything to APP but right now I'm too busy do to pretty much anything but work sleep and homework.
