"The pliar type crimper available from Kmart or Sears should be banned."I agree 100%!!! The pliar type crimpers which only smash the connector into an oval shape suck at making any decent crimp. We have them at work and I want to throw them away every time I have to use them.
The Klein or Ideal crimp tool as shown makes a much better crimp due to the shape of the crimp and how it deforms the connector to a much tighter crimp. Of course, the ratcheting Ideal crimpers start at $142 bucks but would be worth it.
