Another unknown (too me) tool?

[Hobbymat]

This tool is used to put not isolated Fast-on on electrical wires.

Well, sounds to me like it's something I will never have need of.....but thanks for all the replies and input. At least now I know why I don't need it.

This is a commercial crimping tool made by AMP inc. AMP was in the business of making electrical and electronic connectors as well as hand application tooling. It was based in Harrisburg PA but many manufacturing facilities in the US as well as throughout the world. They were bought out by TYCO electronics and then disappeared. It was my pleasure to work for them for 11 years as a Tool and Die maker as well as in Engineering.

It's kinda hard to tell for what size (wire guage)they are from the photo. They look to be pretty darn beefy. I could have used something like that when making up some welding cables. It beats smashing the lugs down with a hammer. ) You can always trade them with someone for something.

No way...they look way bigger than that.

I worked for Boeing on an ICBM upgrade program and did a few thousand crimps with one of those. Its for non insulated molex type connector pins. Tim

Well, thanks for that. You would know. The picture is deceiving.
