Default Vertical Power crimp tool...the good one

I have had a lot of inquiries about the rental of the professional crimping tool. I have great news going forward. The new policy for the tool will be FREE rental. The only thing we are going to ask is that you use it quickly as there will not be a monthly charge for it anymore and return back to me in a postage paid (by me) package.

Now, I don't have the tools at my office just yet, but they should be here next week. It will be first come first serve and I will keep track of where they are and who is next in line as the requests come in. I also don't know exactly how many I will be getting, but I'll post that when I know.

Thanks for your patience folks!

Default What about those of us who have paid you?

Nice that you have decided to do this, but I had to pay you $400 to get the one I am using now when I bought my VPX Pro at SNF last year. Not pleasing.

Jeesh....... I understand you aren't pleased about paying $400. I did the same, but I also made a decision to keep my tool in case I ever needed it again. And yes, I did use it once a year after I did the initial wiring.

But please don't beat up Chad and Ballard. I think they ought to be commended with coming up with a better set of options than the previous regime. Remember it wasn't Ballard that you paid.

Default Retroactive

Hey Chad (my 3rd son)

Is it retro active since this all occurred during the 5 months I've had the crimper?
Hey $50 is $50!!!
