Shoutout to that $80 Klein crimper that saved my back today

Been fighting with a cheapo crimper from Home Depot for months, finally dropped $80 on a Klein Tools crimper with the ratcheting action. Did a whole 40-unit apartment complex today without my hand cramping up halfway through. Anyone else make the jump to better tools and actually feel the difference?

36th floor of a highrise and my old crimper locked up on me mid crimp. Bought the same Klein ratcheting one the next morning and it was night and day difference. No hand fatigue, no fighting the tool, just clean crimps every time. You feel that thing click over and you know it's done right?

feel that thing click over" ... close, it's actually a distinct snap not a click.

@endless_loop congrats on finally treating yourself! Totally agree with @hayden_butler27 about that satisfying click. Thought I was just getting old and weak, turns out my $15 crimper was secretly a hand workout machine.
