Rant: My crimper gave out halfway through a 100-drop job yesterday

I was running Cat6 in a new office building near Denver and my old Klein crimper just locked up on me around drop 47. The ratchet mechanism stripped and I had to borrow a replacement from a sparky on site. Anyone had luck rebuilding one of these or is it just time to bite the bullet and buy new?

Tossed mine and picked up a Kline at Home Depot, no regrets.

@robinson.matthew ugh same happened to me last month. Got a super cheap one at the big box store and it actually works way better than my old one. No weird buzzing or anything. Solid choice honestly.
