00:00:00the jst connectors that I purchased are actually 2 mm the mistake that I made was that I didn't have my glasses on at the time and I didn't realize that these were actually called out in different millimeter sizes so when I crimped the
00:00:15other day and I was crimping too tight I was actually using the 1.6 mm slot on a 2mm pin and once I used the correct slot then it worked perfectly the other thing I noticed is that if you're using the correct slot like you're supposed to do
00:00:30and because these crimpers ratchet you can actually lock that in place and let go of the handle and that will actually hold the pin where it's supposed to be that will allow you the opportunity to put the wire in the pin before you fully
00:00:42crimp it and that just makes your life a whole lot easier once you get the wire in there you can then really crank down on the ratchet handles you'll get a perfect crimp every time
