What happens here

To prepare for crimping, take two ends of the 12.5 gauge high tensile wire and insert them into a crimp sleeve. Ensure that both wire ends overlap sufficiently within the sleeve to create a secure connection once crimped.

Tools and materials

  • Crimp Sleeve — The connector used to join the two wire ends
  • High Tensile Wire — The wire being joined
