Subject:Wire crimp tool, find

Hi friends on the Vanagon list,

        I can’t believe no one on this list mentioned this tool to me!  

        A friend stopped in to do a few tasks with me. 

While putting in the LED headlights, and setting up the blinking signal lights in the headlight a spade connector on a ground wire fell off.  Big surprise. 

So I went to get my connectors, and He said Oh!  I have something to show you. 

I’ve always struggled with crimp connectors, ever sense learning how to do it.  Learning this was a 4:00 am lesson from a member of this list. 

So, my friend hands me a ratcheting crimper.  It puts on just the right pressure then releases.  No more over or under crimping.  He says it has been perfect for him. 

This is a tool I need to find.  Of course he doesn’t remember for sure where he got it! 

So, now to find the darn thing.  I will double check but I think he said the name on the tool was Doyle 

Any one got info on such a tool?  This will improve my wiring game a great deal.

Eric Caron
