Can anyone recommend which tool to get for Sanwa crimping?
Thanks.
Wha?..
What are you trying to crimp? Sanwa is a brand, not a specific item.
It’s like asking “What controller works on the Sony?”.
Sanwa Buttons 2.8 terminals.
You don’t crimp directly to the buttons.
You crimp 0.110" (2.8mm) quick-disconnects, and depending on what kind of QD you’re using, you’d be looking at a slightly different tool.
For uninsulated QDs, you’d use a quick-disconnect crimp tool. Just google it.
I use an old-school one where I’d have to crimp twice on each QD, but there are fancier ones that you just squeeze once.
For insulated QDs, I believe a different crimping tool is needed; I think it’s something along the lines of a “barrel crimp tool”.
Yeah, that’s what I meant, that much I know. A link is more what I’m looking for.
The reason I am asking is because when I just Google “quick-disconnect crimp tool”, I’m either getting results for a £500+ tool, 25 wholesale tools at $100 each or tools coming from the US that want half a liver for shipping.
Ah. Apologies, your original posts hadn’t initially given very much detail to go on.
Unfortunately, I can’t really help you much then with specific links to specific retailers.
Best of luck on your hunt!
