A Xmas gift to myself

Post by KevG »

Just got these through the post,

Needed to clean excess wiring up on my 250 as there is very little clearance or room in that bird,

Let us know what you think of the crimpers.
I want a set, but don't know which ones to get.

Love ratcheting crimpers and crimpers with major mechanical advantage. Quality tools are key. Let us know how they work out. Wouldn't mind picking up a set to do custom servo cable lengths.

I need a crimper tool.. I have been using needle nose pliers.. And a small dab of solder to do my pins.. Works fine but it's time consuming and tedious....
