Hit 10,000 connector crimps this morning without a single reject

I've been keeping a tally in my toolbox drawer for about 2 years now. Just a little tick mark every time I finish a crimp on a D-sub or circular connector. Hit 10,000 exactly while re-pinning a cannon plug on a King radio rack. Never had one fail a pull test. Makes me wonder how many crimps the average tech does in a career. Anybody else track stuff like this just for curiosity?

10,000 is impressive. Mine don't fail either but I don't count them.

Honestly @henry604 I used to think counting crimps was pointless but this post totally changed my mind. 10,000 without a fail is legit and now I kinda wish I'd kept track all these years.
