[Elecraft] APP crimp tool

[Tim Heasman]

Hi all,

When I first started my engineering education in 1962 I was taught to join 
multi strand cable by splicing and soldering the joint and then insulating 
with rubber tape and then covering with black sticky tape.  This was fine 
until aluminium cable turned up and joints could only be made in terminal 
blocks etc.  These joints tended to go high resistance due to the oxide, and 
cause overheating and damage to the cables etc.  Crimped connectors etc were 
the answer to this problem.  When lugs were required on copper cables they 
used to be soldered, these days they are also crimped.

Regards

Tim
