Msd = Wth???

[tor*p*do]

So I bought 2 boxes of 90 degree boots and the fancy $90 MSD tool to crimp them on and got NO INSTRUCTIONS!
I went to their forum online and it says to email for instructions. I email and get nothing. I call their support line and the guy on the other end says he has no idea and has no instructions.:thumbsdown:
So I have $130 worth of MSD boots and crimper, but no instructions and I dont want to f/up my new connectors experimenting.
This is no way to run a business!
Anyone got a good set of instructions on which opening of their crimp tool does what and how to attach these things?
Help!

Spread the wires into two twisted strands, run them through the two slots, and crimp.

Voila!

Slide the boot on, repeat.

yeah, sound simple, but there are three opening in their flippin tool, one of which appears to be a stripper, but the other two dont fit anywhere on the connector . . .

you run the wire through one hole and around and through the other hole and crimp .
Pliers work just as well as the $90 tool .

(PN 3508) Crimp Jaws, Spark Plug Terminal
(PN 3509) Crimp Jaws, Weathertight
(PN 3510) Crimp Jaws, Deutsh
(PN 3506) Crimp Jaws, Amp Pin

here are the die openings. Middle one appears to be a stripper
The left one is too small for anything.
The right one is too deep, appears it will damage the connector

The right one is the one you need normally, it bends the 2 tabs around into kind of a heart shape with a round bottom.

OK, but their are two sets of tabs.
The ones closest to the end (conductor crimps) appear to be too small and the other ones (inuslator crimp) too large. . . ..

I just crimp it with pliers and then a light solder.

Ive always used pliars and solder too.
