As an old Air Force technician, I got in the habit of soldering the ends before crimping them. I also use heat shrink tubing alot. HF has tons of that stuff in colors, longer lengths, etc. It is a great tool!
Another issue I am resolving just now is stripping and crimping spark plug wires. I am seeing in forums and how-to's everywhere that you just purchase the tool. Its another crimper/stripper, but
specialized for that purpose. I gotta get a bigger toolbox, or just break down and do what John did and get cabinets!
