Title: DPA Microdot installation tool
Post by: kd5fyx on December 09, 2006, 10:56:49 PM

Finally the answer!  Unless everyone else knows this and I just couldn't find the answer because I can't search worth crap :-[

Only $300.00  :o :o :o

HMMMMMmmmmmmmm...

Makes you wonder if we are dealing with a high tech crimp system rather than a super secret soldering system. :-\

Now if a Taper with a day job at a shop with a CNC lathe would reverse engineer this tool for $50.00 each we would all be happy. ;D

Later guys,

Jeff

Yup - the price sounds about right for a hand-made tool made in very small numbers and allowing a retailer like B+H to make their profit.

I have seen other similar tools for a similar price.

I paid $65 for a Left-Handed Smoke Shifter at a camping store once     ;D

Seriously, that looks like a crimper, no doubt
And from DPA it probably has precision stops to prevent overcrimpage
The cost is in the dimensional tolerance and the low quantity sold, as John stated
