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.

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.

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.

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  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... |
