Question for people with TR OVC Wire kit

I am ordering the OVC taylor wire kit today from TR. They offer a hand crimping tool and another one for a vice. Does one tend to work better over the other. I never crimped my own wires so I am looking for suggestions. Thanks

ive used them both and the hand crimper is definitely easier to use IMO.

The hand crimping tool has worked fine for me. As a side note if you're using the LT1 opti boots remember that you have to lube up the wires nice and good to get them to fit. Some people also drill out the boots to make them larger. They're only designed for the smaller stock wire size so if you're using a larger 8mm wire keep this in mind.

Thanks for the reply guys.
