Look for core support.

 

I retract the recommendation I had made for the eBay-special 10 Ton Hydraulic Crimper (http://www.ebay.com/itm/300991159574?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&rmvSB=true). It worked great for a few crimps, then randomly stopped working, then randomly started working again, and has now stopped and I can't do anything to get it working again. I put the switch into the "on" position, pump the handles, but the dies do not come together; they just rock back and fourth ever so slightly. The hydraulic mechanism seems to be broken.

The upside is that I contacted the eBay seller, provided a video of the problem, and they promptly refunded my money (including shipping), and will be forwarding this video to their manufacturer to discuss solutions. No drama, near immediate responses, fantastic service (that some of the more "reputable" suspension vendors could learn from!).

The second crimper (

The crimps this one produces are a little different in shape/size, but seem to be working just as well. Also a tad easier to use, but it is physically larger, so that's a downside if you're working in cramped quarters.

 

Hey I'm trying to buy this set up.
