Crimper
|
|
The crimper is used to take up any slack left if frames are not wired quite firmly enough when they are assembled. It is also an excellent way to re tighten loose wire when rejuvenating old frames with new foundation.
This is a robust heavy duty crimper especially designed to crimp the high tensile wire used in frames. The wheels are precision cut from tool steel then heat hardened to give years of trouble free use. Yes, replacement wheels are available.
