Had a debate with a lead about using the factory crimp tool for D-sub pins
He said my hand-crimps on the 9-pin connectors were inconsistent, showed me a failed continuity test from last month. I switched to the official tool, but it's slower. Which side are you on, speed or guaranteed spec?

This is just like people who skip reading the manual and then wonder why stuff breaks.

Totally feel that lol. Learned the hard way with some cheap crimpers that caused so many headaches later.

Yeah, I was all about speed for years. Then I had a whole batch of sensor cables fail in the field. Tracking down those intermittent faults took ten times longer than just doing it right with the proper tool the first time. Guaranteed spec wins every time now.
