I bought the cheap version of the tool. Like it cause I clamp the tool in thevice and I can control the cable going into the tool before I crimp, and can getthe sleeve just right with a few turns of the bolt, just to keep the sleevethere without crimping. then get everything set with the thimble nice and tightto the tool before crimping.Seems to me that with the expensive tool , someone has to be on the sqeezing end What do you do when you are putting ends on a rudder cable and it's way up frontnear the floor? I could never have done mine squeezing with two hands. Bet that everyone that uses the big tool, had to cut at least one end off becausesomeone wasn't watching, or moved. On the first end , it's only a do-over,on the second end, you throw the whole cable away.If I lost my tool tomorrow on the way back from winning the lottery, I'd stillbuy the economy tool.I'll squoze under control over squozing for speed.walt evansNX140DL________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2003 19:02:44 -0700 (PDT)
