what vise to crimp metal ends?

Mechanics 6" vice works well, without over crimping the ends. Can also be accomplished with a hammer on a hard surface if careful.

They are a gauge system to recalibrate the crimping tool. You clamp down on the silver rod, pinching it, then use the black metal strip as a gauge to see if the crimping jaws have the right separation. My clamping tool did come with instructions on using the gauge.

I would highly recommend using a crimping tool, the Signstek A-2546 does a good job for the price.

Yes you cut these plastic tubing to length. There would not be a problem with crimping.

You mean the ends? Regular Cat5E.. http://www.amazon.com/100-Cat6-Cat5E-Crimp-Connectors/dp/B003M5BIII/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1423727813&sr=8-1&keywords=cat5e+connector

Sorry, I used this tool to create a dimple on metal before soldering so I'm not familiar with the job you want to do.

Crimp embedded in heatshrink. Have used suchlike before; seems to be adequate. Make sure to thoroughly shrink the heatshrink to make it waterproof.

You will need an heavy duty one. Its big and damn expansive.Hi-Seas Heavy Duty Hand Swaging Tool, For 0.8 Millimeter to 3.3 Millimeter Crimps

No need for a vise. Just be generous with the solution, placing it on the tape and inside and on the end of the grip. Then work quickly to slide the grip on. Once it's on you have some time to twist it back and forth to ensure it is straight. Getting the grip completely on the shaft is the important part.

Hi. I did them by needle nose for a bit. It worked but was a real job. I found this on Amazon and it is really a great tool. Made my crimps so much easier. I read a bunch of reviews and the questions for the handiest way to use these. Eclipse Tools 300-005 Pro's Kit AWG 20-10 Ratcheted Crimper, Non-Insulated, Open Barrel Terminals

The male ends should have a hole in them for a screw to go through, you can attach them by using a metal screw.

I have both. Both crimp very well. But if your looking for a crimper that can cut the ends of the wire off its perfect. Saves lots of time for me.

No, its too wide, you cant only crimp the bare cable, itll grab the cover tabs. You need 1/4" wide yaws and these are 3/8" or 7/16" wide.

Yes, you can crimp with standard crimper. Before you crimp, you need to trim the excess wires, then pull wires back inside the plug and crimp.

Cb tricks has a site that sells adapters but I suppose you could if you have the crimping equipment.

What type of banana plug did you use? An open screw, closed screw, pin crimp, or pin screw in type?

I have built entire lowers using this vise. Just make sure you clamp everything super tight.
