Doing some questionable machining
My friend tried to use his crimpers questionably and bent the pins that hold everything together. They're out now
@MLE_online Did he try closing the handle with a bench vise?
@kilroy_was_here he just tried to use them on the wrong kind of terminals and really squeezed down hard
@MLE_online
sounds like your friend isn't a quitter
@MLE_online
So now I'm curious about how you plan to fix them.
@MLE_online I hope they weren't super pricey. My friends & I used to refer to the network cable crimper as "The Expensive AMP Crimping Tool" using all five words every time. Please pass me "The Expensive AMP Crimping Tool". Has anyone seen "The Expensive AMP Crimping Tool"?
@CuriousMatter I don't know what they cost him
@MLE_online I'm intrigued as to the nature of his 'questionable use' of the crimpers. There must have been some considerable force involved to bend the pins like that.
@dissident he only used his hands. The crimpers allow a lot of leverage apparently
