[Weathers]

I picked up this beefy crimper at a garage sale for $.25. what is it used for?

It looks like it is for either LMR-400 or RG 8U communication cable crimp on connectors.

A crimping tool is a tool that is used to create cold weld junctions between wires and connectors by deforming one or both of them to hold the other in place. If anything regarding help needed about Steel fabrication in Melbourne then contact ATSS fabrication for more assistance.
