I bought a new wire stripper/crimper tool (Craftsman) for my H4 conversion project. It seems to work fine, but in reading some of the recent posts on the subject of proper crimps and "the right" crimping tool, I've become skeptical of the work I've done thus far.
So, three questions: 1. How does one do a "correct" crimp? 2. Is a $25 Craftsman OK to use? 3. Are connections with plastic on them good to use? Or should one use non-insulated and heat shrink tubing instead?
Thanks!
