I'm a long ways away from electrics, but doing some research while between kits.
For crimping d-subs, the AFM8 handles 20-32 gauge. The MH860 handles a more useful range 16-28 gauge, thus might be usable for more things. I figure as long as I'm spending that much of a tool, I want it to be as capable as possible.
It appears from the Daniels document that MH860 uses different positioners.
Anyone know why the AFM8 is more popular amoung the homebuilders crowd, or why the MH860 would be a less desirable choice?
