I can use these for all kinds of references. Thanks a million for that!
However:o I still don't know how to use this crimping tool. Did you do your own work on your springs?

We made a fixture out of wood to hold the spring assembly. Then applied the band, pulled it tight in the fixture and with the tool crimped the bands and cut off the excess strapping. Not a difficult job once you make the fixture and have the crimping tool. Takes 2 people.
