Hello all.
I am looking for some information regarding my next project on Volador, my 1962 Columbia 29. I am looking at options for installing new life lines. If I decide to go with wire, is there any more strength in the hand crimp attachment using the lever tool vs. the hand tool?. I read that the hand tool requires 5 crimps per terminal vs. the four for the lever tool. I believe I would have a total of 14 fittings to crimp (x5) with the hand tool and that seems like a lot of work.
Although the hand tool is around $50.00 vs. $200 for the lever.
Thanks for any recommendations.
