[Elecraft] Info needed on 'Crimping'

[bill.va3ol at gmail.com]

After year of using a simple crimper - you know the 5$ kind that do an ok
job. I bought a 7 pc quick change ratcheting wire terminal crimper kit.

Now, I need to know how to use it and the various 'jaws'. I have looked on
the internet, checked the local library and can't find much. Utube has a
bunch of videos but mainly they are not useful.

Does anyone have a 'crimper's bible' the kind of thing that tells me about
the various jaws and do I put the terminal in the front or back? I have
lots of questions but can't find much in the way of answers.

One of the reasons for this is that I have been playing with a 160 meter
antenna which needed to be lengthed. Other than using a torch in a forest
(not a great idea) I thought that butt connector would work for my
experiments. And they have; beats using up my long wire pieces on an
experiment.

Any help would be appreciated.
