Jeff:

No. The one that both Tom and I are complaining about is a device 
that looks like a pair of pliers with crooked jaws. I notice that it 
is sold by PowerWerx and not West Mountain.

As we've been discussing, the West Mountain PWRcrimp is ok for 
anything smaller than No 10, but you might want to practice making a 
few throw-away connections before you try doing it for keeps.

If you're trying to crimp number 10 wire, unless you are very 
experienced (and lucky) with the PWRcrimp, you need the genuine 
Anderson crimper to get number 10 done right.
