Bob,



I've recently started crimping wires on the RV7 project.  I've been using

the El-Cheapo variety of crimper but also have the Amp T-Head crimper on

hand.  The el-cheapo is easier to use for fast-ons (unless I'm doing

something wrong) but the T-head looks like it makes a much better crimp

particularly on the wire jacket.  Actually, it looks like my el-cheapo does

not crimp the jacket at all.  I've read your excellent blurb on the subject

here

So I am going to try to get more efficient with the T-Head but what about

the crimps already made?.



My question is, would I be hurting the quality of the existing crimps by

"re-crimping with the T-Head? i.e. going over them again with the T-Head?



Thanks



Bevan

   I don't think this will 'hurt' anything . . . assuming

   you can get the terminal into the tool and cycle it

   without shaving the insulation. Try one and see what

   it looks like. You can do some experiments on pieces

   of scrap wire, a few terminals and the two tools before

   you attack the airplane.
