Listers,

    Can anyone offer up an opinion as to what would be a good choice of 

a crimper for wire terminals? Would like to start with the ring 

terminals and then work up to the pins for DB connectors.

If you're not in a real hurry, you can usually get a good deal on AMP and

DMC crimpers on Ebay.  Just set a firm price when you start bidding.

Occasionally, the bidding goes crazy.   It did take me 4-6 weeks to get all

the positioners I needed for the DMC.



You'll want the AMP 59250 Red Blue Certi-Crimp T-Head Hand Crimper for

terminals and the  Daniels AFM8 Crimp tool for the DB25s.  You can see the

DMC tool and the various positioners on Stein's site.  Pictures of both are

on my Kitlog site

(http://www.mykitlog.com/users/display_log.php?user=rleffler&project 60&cat

I was able to pick up both in good condition for about $80 each.   There are

crimpers that are less expensive, but these are what most of the

professional shops use.

Wire crimpers for ring terminals, fast-ons, and the like can be bought from several sources.  The important thing is to make sure they are the ratcheting type.  The crimper does not release until it gets a full squeeze.  These crimpers usually have three different dies on them: red, blue and yellow.  This corresponds to the color code on the terminals (wire sizes).  Get the best terminals you can (AMP are good) and don't go cheap on the tool.  



Connector pins work differently and depend on the type.  The advice to check with Stein is a good one.
