i'll add the writing later from work, running to work now, just added pics cos they'r on my pc.
added: i wanted to post here for last 1.5 months but no time, this is bugging me since.
im still confused, i found several crimpers for open barrel D-sub miniature contacts but they have a bit different tooth shapes.
what did you buy adrian that isnt working well for you ?
zoot katz how well is your HT-225 working for you in all cast sizes ?
what are you using rkosiorek for D-sub ?
i know i'l want to buy a ratcheting crimper but even between TRIcrimper the HT-225 (the blue 1 ambroseliao posted) and eclipse there is a difference in cast (tooth shape).
and then there's the awg difference, the eclipse and tricrimp are only good for 10-22 awg, HT-225 18-30, these contacts used mainly for balancing in ebikes and RC so 20awg and thiner is ok, but how is it working, is 1 size contact used for 18-30 awg just simply crimped less or more by different cast/tooth size, so if im limited to 22awg die but using 24awg wire i can fold it and itl crimp in a good way or what ?
i cant decide what to get, if the 22awg die in TRIcrimper will work for thiner wires say up to 26awg if i fold them then that's great i'l only buy additional D-sub die, if not then i'l have to buy tricrimper for andersons and the HT-225D for D-sub, or maybe the eclipse die for D-sub is shaped better, no clue.
