Thanks. I bought the WM crimper and started using it yesterday. Seems to be a good quality tool and works really well. After a few crimps I never want to go back to using the "pliers" type crimp again.
I don't know if I'll end up using all of the dies, but I'll never be worried about not having the right tool for a job again! -- Stephen Petri S/V Witchcraft, Ranger 33 No. 161 http://www.teamwitchcraft.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Weinstein Sent: Friday, July 16, 2010 7:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Liveaboard] West Marine Crimpers? Steve, I would think that crimper would serve you well if you need all those additional dies. I have the Ancor ratcheting crimper which looks identical to the one in the WM catalog except for the multiple dies. I doubt WM makes their own tools. It's probably like many products where there are multiple "brands" but, in fact, one or two companies manufacturing under license for each different "brand". If you need those additional dies, I'd go for the WM tool and not lose any sleep over it.
