That Stak-on is a crappy looking crimping tool. (in this video’s thumbnail) But… That crimper and T&B’s ratcheting crimping tool for insulated terminals were some of the best tools I’ve ever owned! For public safety radio installs (timeframe = back when the Motorola Micor was “super high tech” 😆), I used to crimp with uninsulated crimp terminals with mil-spec marine grade heat shrink tubing. BUT.. I also left the bare conductor slightly long and then added solder to the mix. That came about after many failed connections with crimped connections when I was using (ubiquitous at the time) Ideal combo crimp/strip/thread electrician’s multi-tool. After 35+ years, I’ve come to realize that a proper crimped connection, MADE WITH THE PROPER TOOLS and high quality connectors.. is nearly as good and much less labor intensive. Damn… I really AM old and ancient. 🤣 Thank you for sharing these videos.
