Crimpers In A “Pinch”

By sanbar406, member

While installing 4″ dia. duct work for bathroom exhaust units in an attic crawl space, I needed crimpers for a couple of connections to be made. Since I did not have a pair & couldn’t see buying a pair for two connections, I used what was already in the crawl space with me: lineman’s piers, scrap copper wire & electrical tape. It worked good.
