You will be very happy with that tool Demented. It will produce perfect crimps that will hold. thumb.gif

But isn't that what the pins are designed to dig into some? I guess if the sleeving is melted properly and not going anywhere...smile.gif

I will verify on the crimping instruction sheet at work in the morning, but I believe that the strain relief (the end part of the pin) will provide a firm grip regardless of if its used on sleeving or the actual jacket.
