[NSRCA-discussion] Servo lead crimping tools

[vicenterc at comcast.net]

In the old times I did this by opening the servo and re-soldering after adjusting the length of  the servo lead.  I am not sure about doing this in modern servos.  Probably is still viable.

I always cut and splice the wires.  After a few years of trying the self-crimp method, I found that I was never able to get the same quality as the factory automated crimpers used by the oem's.  Especially on connectors that are repeatedly removed, like ailerons.

I like H tools HT 225D.  It is a ratcheting crimper with the 2 levels of crimping surfaces for the wire and the insulation,
I have the other one that most places sell and it does not do as nice a job.  I bought mine from Dreamworks model products.  Cost was $35.  Not sure if they still sell it.  I didn't see it on their website.

Can anyone recommend a crimping tool they have had success with?
I am wanting to shorten some servo leads and instead of cutting and splicing
I would like to crimp a new plug on.  Of course the most important thing is
to have confidence in the new plug since the of life the airplane will be riding
on it.
Thanks!
