My crimper gave out mid-job on a new build in Raleigh last Tuesday

I was about 30 terminations into a 200-drop house when the ratchet mechanism just stopped catching on my Klein crimper. Had to borrow a rusty backup from the electrician on site to finish the day. Anyone else had a main tool fail at the worst possible time?

Keep a backup tool in your bag, lesson learned.

Yeah I used to be all about traveling light but after getting stranded once I had to admit you guys were right. Never leaving home without a backup multitool now.
