[NSRCA-discussion] Servo connector crimping tool?

[Ed White]

Agree completely on the pins and the practice.  And of course the fun is
you make 2 perfect crimps, admire your work, then screw up the 3rd one,
#$@!%^ ... then cut off all three, including the 2 perfect crimps and throw
them all away and start again.
