Davis RF doesn't have such an item on their web site. If you can tell me
where to get one of these piston crimpers for less than a C note, I'm in.
I'll get my own instead of bugging my cell comm. guy.

I also use the piston type for LMR-600 but it was well less than $100. I
don't remember where I purchased that one, but it might be worthwhile to
check with Steve Davis to see what they might have. I use a more or less
standard type with interchangeable dies for RG58, 8X, 8, LMR400, etc and
then the piston type for LMR600.
