Yours look to be a bit better quality and definitely more ergonomic than mine. Very cool Graham!

Where did you guys get them from?
Can they do smaller molex pins in FPV gear?

Lee it will do some Molex, but was made to do 0.1" Molex pins and apparently does them well,

Well I used mine to shorten my 250 servo wires, and it worked perfectly, so smooth and easy, love it, and was perfect for the JST battery plug as well

Only mistake i made on the first test crimp the wire caught on the arch instead of going under so the wire was not through enough:)

Other than that a great tool:) thanks Kev:)

Yeah I seen this type of crimper being used in a video or a write up somewhere, so had instructions to follow, it worked perfectly

I like a lot, love things that do what they say on the tin!

Not to bad a video Lee:)

I love the way people with double jointed thumbs bend back in the opposite direction:) Used to climb with a guy that had thumbs like that:)

Focus on the smaller crimps could have been better, but you get a good idea of what is required:)
