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. <br>

I like H tools HT 225D. It is a ratcheting crimper with the 2 levels of crimping surfaces for the wire and the insulation,<br>
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.<br>

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