[Elecraft] APP crimp tool

[Joseph Trombino Jr]

Howdy Dave:

I bought the more expensive Anderson PowerPole (APP) crimper and it works 
beautifully....makes a great crimp and the wire(s) will not pull out.

I changed my entire station over to APP's along with my mobile FM rigs and 
am glad that I did....I also use RigRunners at my 3 operating positions and 
that sure makes hosing up the various pieces of gear a simple process.

You will not only make superb crimps with the tool but you will be very 
popular in your ham community as you will be called upon to install APP's on 
other hams gear after they see your superb power cables with APP's on them 
(grin).
