just did a bunch of connectors last night. Tidy wiring is always nice to have, sometimes even worth it. i know my 1/10 4whl car had no room for looped servo leads. Its all about having the right tool:

I can vouch for its effectiveness. oddly though, it does a much better job crimping connectors from say MPi than hansons own line of connectors.

I thought 40 bucks was cheap compared to the 300-400 price tag of the more professional setups.

The key is the shape, depth and size of the crimp die's. Using the wrong one sure does make for a crappy crimp job and there are multitudes of wrong ones out there. The correct die also needs to have two different diameters in the same slot so the crimp is smaller on the wire than on the insulation. If you are going to be doing a bunch of ends it will pay to spend a few bucks and get the right tools.

Thats a good price. May have to try a pair out to see if the width and the diameter is right.
