    Demonstration in video convinced me, took screen shot with all the tool ID visible. That really streamlines searches for stuff outside my less-pertise.

    Got a laugh about fumbling phone and operating a tool; earlier I tried filming a terrific street musician performing Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'.
    "I did my best, it wasn't much
    I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
    I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
    "

    You had good shots of vise jaw, mine was all rear view mirror.

    This gets more interesting; well 'Hello' it is after-all HMT.net I appreciate the 'tool endorsements' of nova_robotics and desbromilow, that up my game.
    My crimping uses the good blue handled stripper, I'd say perfect on gauges 20 to maybe 12. Still, Linesman crimpers with cavity and punch work best on big terminals like 12-10, they are thick! Having bought under less budget restrictions made sense then, paying off now with dependable US and top grade imports. Soon there will be work in machine panels and wiring blocks that ferrules prevail.

    What I think of as my Linesman pliers are really more pull and twist in tying rebar, one has bent grip to not slip out of hand. There is some of that coming up as well.
