We build our crimping plier using one of the Cleco pliers (we had 4 and used only 2 or 3 at the same time) was easy. Larry (my brother) welded 3 little pieces of rod (I think 1/8" diam) to the pliers, one in the center two in the sides. works perfect.

Thanks for all the replies. I have seen the tool Zenith either sells or
wants you to build. I know someone with that tool, but I would like something
more in the line of a pair of pliers. There are a lot of crimps coming up and
I know there is something out there that will work. I see in the tools
section of 601.org, there is a nice pair of needle nose pliers with 3 pieces of
rod. Looks like it would work great, but there is no specific's on what size
rod to use etc.
I did find a tool that looks like it would do the job on Aircraft Spruce.
The part number is
12-00500. If you guys that have already built your ribs, could go and look
at this tool and tell me if you think it would work, I would appreciate it.
Most of my parts are CNC'd and are wonderful, so I want to do this right.
Let me know what you think and I am open to any suggestions.
Larry
