[Swansea Hackspace] Crimping tool for pi/arduino

[Tim Clark]

I have a similar set of ratchet crimpers, when I was looking in to it I 
discovered that the price of crimpers seems to depend a lot on which die 
comes with it. I bought a set of crimpers with the wrong die from 
Farnell and the die I wanted separately from I think CPC for less money 
than the crimpers with the correct die from either place.

These are my crimpers:

They are compatible with what aliexpress calls HS crimpers when shopping 
for additional dies.
