A little known fact about applying terminals to a wire tip is the quality difference between application with hand tools compared to using a 2 ton press designed for such a process.
The speed and exacting crimp depth (measured crimp height after application) reached by a professional grade press creates a gas tight, corrosion resistant bonding between the copper wire strands and the terminal within the barrel of the wire crimp. There is a profound difference when destructive pull-testing is used to test the strength of the connections between the two application methods. Connections applied by hand using a hand tool always perform at lower tensile rates than press applicated parts.
