Crimper Tool Recommendation Needed.

Recommended Posts


I use digicon (for TV work) and Sargent (Rostra Tool Company) www.rostratool.com Mix and match Thomas&Betts, Gilbert, PPC, Rostra has some quality tools and good fit for tight spaces terminating within enclosures and short stub-ins. PPC also are quality.... http://www.ppc-online.com/ beware off knockoffs, cheap compression tools after a few applications will make you wish you used quality.

he OmniSeal Pro XL (30-793) was added to their line late last year... if you are going with Ideal, its pre-set/calibrated for Ideal branded connectors but adjustable for others, A theater tech buddy of mine out here uses one, he likes it. Seen them online retail various sites from 50-80$ If you are only going to use occasionally Triangle http://www.trianglecables.com/ has one from Stern for their PermaSeal connectors, Triangle ships fast and a never had a probs ordering from them for other gear. Their connector prices are pretty good. The Branded Stern looks like other OEM comp. tools but there are differences, longer stroke and two springs around the pull shafts as well the handles are longer, overall a heavier tool. I use to old school crimp and once in alwhile still do but compression is great for outdoor work and once you master the method it produces a quality seal.
