One of the hardest things to do these days is to use my spade lug crimper. I sometimes can put the crimpers on a hard surface and lean down on them with my body weight. But most times I make bad crimps because I no longer have the hand strength to squeeze them with the force that's required.
Today I tried a pair of Robogrips to squeeze the handles of the crimpers and that sort of worked but it's awkward. I am going to hunt down some clamps and see if I can't make some grooved slip-over jaws for them. I would be afraid that a c-clamp or even a vise-grip type plier would slip off the crimper handles.
I see that there are crimpers that use different forms of leverage to make them easier to use. I am just wondering if anyone owns a pair of such crimpers or can recommend a way to use the one I have now more effectively.
Thanks in advance for any input.
