Use to squash the crimps in a vice and then use a hammer and chisel to indent it, never had a problem but then again was only fishing for tailor.

Optia crimps come in all
Optia crimps come in all shapes and sizes (up to bench sizes). In fact they get re badged by many top name brands. Shop around.

Sorry Till, they are not TW.
Sorry Till, they are not TW. They are sold through TW but are the manufacturers which get re badged and sold by Penn, Black Pete etc and at a higher price. Either way they are quality and have products to match most needs.
