Cheers,
I wrote this week at an inability to understand how the subject crimper worked, and probably caused some heads to nod, including Bob’s, over what must have seemed a simple problem.
It was. The way I used the crimper, it was impossible to insert a pin/socket and wire in order to crimp same. Thanks to those who replied, I discovered the fault:
Inside a threaded cap at the back, is a formed spring-loaded spindle. One end of it is solid, the other is hollowed out. I found mine reversed, turned it ‘round and voila, the pin/socket slides into the hollow just far enough to crimp it solidly to the wire.
No wonder I couldn’t slide the target into place....... As Major Hoople says, “Egad!”.
Apologies to all who mused over my stupidity.
Best for 2011,
