View Full Version : swamp yankee tech.. Nebe 07-08-2006, 08:53 PM $9... works just as good :hihi: striperman36 07-08-2006, 10:46 PM Okay what is it? MAC 07-09-2006, 01:28 AM crimper for sleeves on leaders ProfessorM 07-09-2006, 06:58 AM Where do you get one for 9 bucks? Nebe 07-09-2006, 07:10 AM crimper for sleeves on leaders mac is correct :D I built this for making the hook harness that are inside my rigged eels. Professor- I got the bolt cutters from ocean state job lot... 9 bucks. the steel plate was kicking around my studio so i will count that as free :hihi: Redsoxticket 07-09-2006, 07:16 AM It looks like the crimping area of this tool is on the right side of the photo and not the left side as I initially thought, is that true. ProfessorM 07-09-2006, 07:22 AM Oh so you just modified the jaws to crimp and not cut. Good idea. How come I never have and good idea like that? Redsoxticket 07-09-2006, 07:39 AM It looks like the crimping area of this tool is on the right side of the photo and not the left side as I initially thought, is that true. Nevermind, thats the hinge. Nebe 07-09-2006, 07:59 AM Oh so you just modified the jaws to crimp and not cut. Good idea. How come I never have and good idea like that? yes.. I welded over the cutters to make them flat Flaptail 07-09-2006, 09:20 AM Oh so you just modified the jaws to crimp and not cut. Good idea. How come I never have and good idea like that? Because you have other ones like the metal needles and your pencil poppers or your bunker spoons! Oh yeah and your custom sandeel rake too! If everyone had the smae idea where would we be? Swimmer 07-09-2006, 10:35 AM Nebe I knew you were going to say Ocean State. Been looking at those $8 to $30 crimpers for years thinking I need a pair. Now I know I need a pair. Nebe 07-09-2006, 06:52 PM you can use an angle grinder and lightly dull the cutting edges and not alter the cutters that much- I use this thing every day now, so i needed to make it a bench top crimper, but if your only crimping a few bloofish leaders, then all you need is to dull the edges and use it as is. spence 07-09-2006, 09:39 PM So like where did ya get the angle grinder :confused: :hidin: -spence Nebe 07-10-2006, 07:14 AM I used my smal one which took me alot longer if i had my larger one you tool stealing not giving tools back yuppy :smash: RIROCKHOUND 07-11-2006, 09:08 AM I can attest to the working-ness (good grammer huh?) of this set-up... I performed the pull tests on the harnesses... I cant break them :musc: so they are plenty tough enough for the man in the green striped suit! and much cheaper than a bench swage at 100's of clams... vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2025, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
