Hello,
I have now purchased this ratchet crimping tool: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/DVDHCR15.html and am using it with these crimps: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/CTBUTTslashB.html What I wanted to know is: where do I use the tool on the crimps? I had originally assumed that the two sides of the jaw would both go on the central section of the crimp, but the two sides of the jaw differ. One has a "flatter" arch and the other has a more "rounded" arch. I assume then that you use either use the tool twice (both ways round) on the central section, or once on each side of the crimp. I have drawn a diagram showing what the two sides of the jaws look like. The picture is at: http://www.bat400.com/images/crimping.gif My instinct is that when crimping the (1&2) end of the crimp, the flatter (A) jaw should be at (1), and the more rounded (B) jaw should be at (2). Can anyone confirm or correct me on this? Thanks in advance for your help, Al Reynolds |
