SteinAir D-Sub Contact Crimper
Howdy from Texas -
Does anyone out there have a SteinAir contact crimper (#SAT-004) available for rent or purchase? Hate to buy a new $31 crimper for a few pins!

I have one, but I'm not nearby. By time you pay the shipping both ways you might as well just get the tool from stein and add it to your box.

I'd recommend getting this tool as you will likely need it in the future. Almost every electronic box on the plane uses these pins.

Backing up what Marc said, buy one yourself. You will be amazed where you use it, from pins othe Dynon to installing Dsub connectors on trim servos, it's a very handy bit of kit.
I need a Crimper for RG-400 cable to install 4 BNC connectors. $100+ with shipping...  makes the Steins price pale in comparison.

Why spend that much on a coax crimper??? We sell them for less than half that....and....you can swap out the dies and use the same frame for crimping terminals!

Bought all my tools from Stein. Just do whatever he says. You'll never go wrong. No matter what subject he's advising you on.

It isn't the tool cost so much as the bloody shipping to Australia. I swear it is cheaper to raise kids than build an RV down here...
That being said, I've just ordered my crimper and dies from your web store.
