Swapped crimp tools halfway through a 737 harness job
I was using the cheap stamped-steel crimpers for about six months on D-sub pins. Last month I borrowed a friend's ratcheting crimper from Daniels and the difference was night and day. The old tool kept crushing the pin barrels and I'd get intermittent continuity checks. Has anyone else made that switch and noticed fewer rework callbacks?

That Daniels ratcheting tool is a total game changer, made my crimps way more consistent.

Woah wait, you actually use the Daniels ratcheting ones? I thought those things were just hype for guys with too much money. Guess I gotta rethink my whole setup now.
