[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 151626, member: 2882"] jkwilson makes an excellent point about tools, and I thank him for picking up my slack.. I just flat forgot about that stuff... A couple hundred is right, though, cause I think TSC has about $55 on the crimping tool alone.. NOT that I'm advocating this in any way, but I heard of a guy drilling about a 1/4" hole toward the base of the nippers on a cheap pair of bolt cutters, and using that to crimp the nicompress sleeves for his hi-tensile fence.. He used the remaining sharp section of the cutters to cut the fence wire, too... Poor man's all in one, I guess. Must have been a heck of a drill bit to make the hole, though. Anyway, the real nicompress tool crimps pretty much the whole length of the sleeve in one shot, though.. That alone makes it worth having, IMO.. Saves time, does a better job.. [/QUOTE]
