Not sure what this poll is about?
In the past, I’ve used all manner of things to make crimp connections, pliers, side cutters, solder, cheap crimp tools, even my Swiss Army knife.
Now I only use the correct ratchet crimper.
You can make quite a good crimp using the cheap crimpers, if you have the strength.The purpose of the poll was to try and gauge how many people do it properly, I made it anonymous so I stood a chance of getting close to the truth.
I have come across a few in line crimps in industrial DB's lately that have fallen apart when handled.
closer inspection has shown either plier type marks or cutter type marks.
I have used a decent pair of ratchet crimps for years now myself and never had a joint fail.
I have yet to see a well made joint by any other means.
