Was sure my old crimper was fine until it cost me an extra hour

I always thought if a tool still worked, it was good enough. Then my worn-out coax crimper started making weak connections that passed my meter but failed at the tap. Spent a whole extra hour backtracking to find my own bad fittings. Totally changed my mind, now I replace my crimping heads way more often.

So many problems come from things that are just good enough.

Used to disagree but honestly? You're right.

Ever wondered if other tools failed you slowly too?
