I am trying to figure out which die to use in a ratchet crimper for 
RG-174 - the outer ferrule, not the pin.  One web reference says 
.213,but that is too large.  The guys who sold me the connectors don't 
know, and the guys who sold me the crimping tool insist it should be 
.128, which is far too small.  The die sizes I have jump from .213 to 
.128 with no intermediate sizes.

The crimping tool that I bought is a generic Chinese type with no 
visible brand except for G and K on the two die sets I have.  If I need 
another die size, any idea where I might get them?
