Antique Stores

[Bent]

Yeah, they're full of a lot of crap that is anything but antique. Then there
is the odd ball but really handy tool find that fills that missing spot in
the tool box. I ran across this little jewel last week at a shop in town. I
have no Idea how old it is, probably ~50 years (50's or 60's); hmmmm, almost
new. Truth is, I don't care nor does it matter. I could have really used it
a few months ago, though. Check this out.

It crimps #2, #4, #6 and #8 electrical connectors. The wheel on the end
rotates to the appropriate size and locks in place with a threaded knob. The jaws are closed by a compound mechanism.

The thing actually works, imagine that. Not to shabby for $20.

OK, I'm done bragging.

:D




















I'm crawling back into my hole now.

I used to have one of those a real long time ago... Great for making battery cables and whatnot... Nice find..

Beats the crimper I have been using for the last twenty years, good find.

You probably have several of your own hidden in that junkyard inside your garage.....

Did you get my pics from Truckhaven? :new:

Now all I need to run across, well, not all; a cable cutter that will cut steel cable. All I seem to run across is those for non ferrous. No, I don't want to know where I can get a new one.
:nono:


I'm not a cheapskate, just frugal.
:D
