Do you know what these crimpers do:

Well -- they both are "Type F" crimpers -- for the double
flagged crimp pins.

The first one is likely for the longer pins used in rectangular
connector bodies (up to at least 104 pins, IIRC, and down to 6 or so.
These connectors normally have keying corner pins so you don't get one
of a series of similar connectors in the wrong jack, and jackscrews to
pull the connector into complete mesh. A company I once worked for made
flight simulators, among other things, and used a lot of these
connectors -- usually the 60 or 104 pin ones. (Yes, these were made by
AMP too. :-)

The second one might even work with the pins for the DB-25 and
similar connectors -- but it only crimps one range of wire sizes instead
of two, and it does not have the pin nest to hold the pin at the right
depth in the crimper, so it takes a bit more care.

Be warned -- if you get into collecting AMP crimpers, you can
keep on forever. :-) I can still lift my bucket of AMP manual crimpers
one-handed -- but only because I don't have the hydraulic heads and dies
in there. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.
