Just realized how much faster I am with a crimper now than when I started

First year, it took me almost 10 minutes to do a clean 4-wire crimp. Now I can do it in under 30 seconds after doing it a few hundred times on a big apartment job last month. Anyone else have a tool they were slow with that just clicked?

Honestly it's just crimping a wire. Maybe it's just me but getting that fast at it seems like a weird thing to brag about. It's not like you're doing brain surgery.

Remember when you had to look at the stripper? I still do sometimes.

Ever notice how the old ones had a different kind of wear on them? My dad's old tape measure is like that, the numbers almost gone in one spot.
