Default Correct CT-100 crimping


"Rick Hughes" wrote in message
...
I bought a load of F-Type crimp plugs for CT100.
I bought these from CPC, and asked them to specify the correct crimp tool
.. and they supplied an H Tools HT-336G ratchet crimp.

This has a Hex die size of 0.225" (6.48mm) ... and it is mangling the
connectors, assume this die must be too small. (I can't over-crimp as
it's a ratchet type tool)

Does anyone know the correct Die size .. ? or could take a look at their
CT100 tool.



Just to close this thread ... CPC issued a refund, but didn't want the tool
back
I bought a replacement from a really good on-line tool supplier, that did
stock the correct crimp

For anybody else that needs IT related tools the company is:

or

Great prices and very next day delivery with no whacko prices for it !
