Looking at B and C site now I see they have the Palladin. I do not think that is the one I have. Sorry for the confusion. -Chris I crimped garmin HD and standard pins with the b and c unit. seems to work fine just need to watch the placement axially along the pin when going from one size to the other. The b and c is a 4 sided crimp style. -Chris Is this the Paladin or Eclipse crimp tool? ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:27:50 PM PST US From: "Robert L.

I do not >think that is the one I have. Sorry for the confusion. Understand. The only reason I ask is because I have evaluated performance of the Eclipse product as of about 8-10 years ago. At that time, the stock pin positioners were 'spotty' . . . some production batches benefit from a sculpturing of the positioner. All versions then and now did a better job of installing the 22HD pins with a positioner tailored to the task. The Paladin tool positioner spring is on the pin-entry side of the positioner so that rotating the retainer cap on the opposite end allows the installer to set the crimp location. with that feature in mind, it MIGHT also be suited to 22HD pin installations but I'd have to explore the question in more detail.

Yes, because of it's adjustability, you can set it up to do both sizes of pins. http://tinyurl.com/jvlbavp So in answer to Roger's original question, yes the Paladin tool offered by B&C is user-adjustable to do both pins, the Eclipse tool offered by Steinair benefits from an alternate positioner tailored to the 22HD pin.
