inRant: I always thought the cheap crimpers from the hardware store were fine until a connector popped off a job in the rain.
Man, why is it always the rain that shows up your bad work? I learned that the hard way after my "good enough" crimp turned into a sprinkler system. Sean's totally right about the seal though, my first fix was just more crimping like an idiot. Now I'm all about that adhesive heat shrink, it covers for my shaky hands.
