That's not the only benefit. The Crimpmaster has interchangeable dies.
And they are industry standard. I have all sorts of dies for my Paladin
frames. Everything from modular plug dies, to coax dies, to old style
fiber optic connector dies, to electrical terminal and ferrule dies.
There are probably close to 100 different dies available that will fit
these type of frames, though I only own a fraction of them.
I had no idea that this tool used a standard configuration. I just
picked it out because Ideal had a good selection of dies for it.
Is there a way of using this tool to attach SCs to Fiber without epoxy
and polishing? That would kick much ass. I have a cleaver set and
tester. I just don't have all the latest fiber termination gear. I
just don't have the cash right now.
How do the feel and function of the Paladin frames compare with the
Crimpmaster ones?
Peace... Sridhar
The ratchet
version of the Ideal Telemaster isn't too bad, and I
carry one in with my spare tools, but its not my first choice and I
don't think I've used it in about 3 years now. The non-ratchet
version is just junk IMO though.
Ok, found it..... I don't have either of the Ideal tools your talking
about. Mine is a Ideal Crimpmaster. It does ratchet, which I assume
is benefit since it doesn't release until the full crimp has been
placed on the connector.
