Hard without a picture but the result is hexagonal, the same shape as the dies. There may occasionally be a bit of the spade material that squeezes into the edges where the two die pieces come together but I have never had a crimped spade come apart or fail in any other way. The end result should look sorta close to the Cardas forged connection.
Crimping Furutech FP203R spades
Hi All,
Quick question; Have any of you crimped Furutech FP203(R) spades, what did you use for a crimping tool?
Thanks for any input, these are very nice spades, heavy duty! My Klein rachet crimpers are no match for the FP203(R) spades.

You may be using too small of a die for the wire/connector that you are crimping. Check out this video that provides some guidance on selecting the die size as well as showing what a finished crimp should look like. You may consider practicing on a few throw-away pieces to get the hang of things. Good luck. |
