Tips for Perfect Crimps Every Time

Match Sleeve Size to Line Diameter: Always select the correct sleeve size for your leader material—a loose sleeve will slip, while an oversized sleeve won't crush uniformly.
  Leave a Clean Tag End: Extend the leader line slightly past the end of the sleeve before crimping to ensure maximum holding strength during a strike.
  Avoid Over-Crimping: Squeeze the handles firmly until the tool bottoms out, but avoid excessive force that can fracture the sleeve or weaken the leader line.
