Comments about Jamestown Distributors Nico Press Tool:
The initial use is 1/16" cable. A bit of overkill, but future uses include larger diameter cable. Tool looks substantial enough for the future use. Only problem is everyone wants a demo (not the tool's fault)and ferrules get used quickly.
Will be making lanyards to keep tools attached where they belong, and out of manholes the tools could fall into.
Comments about Jamestown Distributors Nico Press Tool:
I have had this tool for many years. It does not get much use but when I need it it works as it was designed to. I have only used it on 3/16 cable with plated copper sleeves and it is a handful to squeeze. The handles could stand to be a bit longer for the larger size cable sleeves.
This is a well made tool as it should be for the price.
