DoN, thanks for the first part of your post. I have a better idea
now.

AHA -- here is a much more reasonable one which was missed by my
first quick search:

7553590509

And that one is even the later model of the hand-pumped crimper. Still
the wrong dies for your application. It has the #6, and you need the #2
(the closest to #1 that I know of). This one is at only $25.00 with
about 11+ hours to go as I post.


Very nice. I would like to know if these dies are easy to find. I may
bid a small amount for that item...


Some are easier than others, though it usually takes a while to
find the particular ones which you are looking for. I've been looking
for the 4-0 set for a few years now. The smaller dies (#8-#2) are
somewhat easier to find, as are the crimpers for them.

I wound up bidding on (and winning) a second smaller hydraulic
crimper, just to get several sizes of dies to complete my set.

Come to think of it -- I believe that I have spares of some of
the dies -- but it is too late to go down and check that right now.

I don't know
whether you looked at the first one that I found, but they wanted a
buy-it-now of $750.00 for that one. :-) *Way* out of reach. :-)

Good Luck,
DoN.
