Hi Guys,
I have been following this list for about 3 years. In the beginning
99.99% went over my head but now only 99.9% is not understood. One thing
I have learned is that this is a great place to learn and get help.
Ok, I am just starting to wire my capacitance fuel senders for a RV7. At
present I have not acquired any tools. Over time my data base of saved
"tooling messages" is quite extensive. Based on that knowledge and recent
rereading of Bob's articles on the use of said tools I have formed a few
questions that maybe someone can help me with.
I know technique is critical. Regardless of price is it easier to get
up to speed and precision with a tool like Daniels Mil Spec crimper or is
the B&C RCT-1 just as (difficult / easy) to learn and master.

The RCT-1 is for PIDG terminals. Daniels tools

It may not seem like it but you have all been teaching me alot in a few
short years. Thanks

Have you reviewed the article on "Getting Started" that
I posted at:
http://aeroelectric.com/articles/Getting_Started.pdf
The commonly needed crimp tools and their applications
are discussed in this piece. For the most part you can
get all the tools you'll need at decent prices at:
http://bandc.biz
http://steinair.com
although there are many other places you could look
too. Harbor Freight has been offering a satisfactory
PIDG tool at:
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93977
This is probably the first tool you need to acquire and
is equivalent to the ratchet-handle, PIDG tools sold at
many stores.
