Please, I would love to get a set of those crimping pliers. I have a dozen different crimpers but not one of the is right for that job :roll:

Oh yeah... getting them from NAPA meant that I needed to get them by the box to be cost effective. But since I want a lot of Cubs, I figure it is just good planning for the future - build up stock while it is cheap :lol:

Thanks for the link. But it figures --- No Matco distributors in my area at all. Hmmmm so how to find one ... don't even know if there is one in NB. Oh well..... Might be something I can pick up while I am stateside.

I have that same crimping tool, mine is a Belden, so it was likely sold with several different brand names applied to it. I prefer to make up my own wire sets and this tool is a "must have" for doing that.

Same tool. Somewhat different price.

Don,

I got one that had, like this one, the spark plug crimping dies on the handle end of the pliers. I didn't have enough hand strength to make a nice crimp, so I took it back. I'm looking for one with the crimping dies, I need, on the end opposite the handle. Get leverage working for me rather than me working for the leverage.

Accel 170036 Accel 300+ Perma-Crimp Tool

It seems a bit heavier than the majority of crimpers and has interchangeable anvils.
