That $45 crimper from the truck stop was the biggest waste of my week | Cable Installers

Stopped at a gas station outside Reno last Tuesday and grabbed a no-name crimper because I forgot mine at the shop, and it died on the second connector of a 12 drop job. Had to finish the whole house with a borrowed tool from the homeowner's garage and still ate the hour of backtracking. Anyone got a cheap brand that actually survives a full week in the truck, or do I just buy two of the good ones and stop gambling?
