Ken:

I have found with power poles that it is important to use the right crimper. I have never ever been able to get a good connection with the "plier" style crimper that West Mountain Radio sells. Also, I have found the West Mountain ratchet style crimper to be good only for smaller wire sizes. For the higher current connectors into No 12 or 10 wire, I find that only the genuine (and not inexpensive) Anderson crimper produces good connections.

That said, if you use the right crimper, power poles are a breeze.

73,

Is there anyone out there who has -NOT- had satisfactory
results with Anderson Powerpoles?
