I finally learned why my crimper was leaving bad connections on the ramp in Memphis

Last Tuesday I was out on the line in Memphis trying to finish a pitot static check on a CRJ. I kept getting intermittent resistance readings on a cannon plug and couldn't figure out why. After pulling the pins three times I realized my old crimper was just slightly out of adjustment from years of use. I borrowed a calibrated tool from the hangar and every connection came out perfect on the first try. Has anyone else had a tool get worn down like that and cause headaches?
