Re: re:re:AMP connectors

Smoke,

We're talking two different tools here! The ratchet-feed, semi-
production tool at $160, and the T-blade at $15.

Yes, you can make a T-blade easily, but its' an apple, at best. The
$160 tool is an orange, and a D@#$ tasty one, at that!

Yes, cat5 cable connector also use IDC (Insulation Displacement
Connection). The amp connectors are a little trickier though, due to
size, orientation, and strain relief considerations...

Hope this helps.
