Re: pin sizes for extractor and crimpers? recommendations?

<x-flowed>

I did find a wonderful crimper that beats the heck out of all the others
I've tried, it is available from an ultralight aircraft parts company.

It's NOT the WALDOM HT-1921 (TRBR) - which is a pain to use correctly,
rather the part number is BCT-1 and it is available at B&C Specialty
Products. This is a most excellent tool, well worth the money!
http://216.55.140.222/articles/matenlok/matenlok.html for applications,
check it out, it is truly a breeze to use - my students can make
professional looking crimps within a few minutes instead of a couple of
hours using the old style crimpers.

1/2 way. $32US - Cheap!
