If you plan on using flip tops make sure you buy the flip top crimper. You could also get by without the crimper. A knife or a spoon work pretty good to crimp the vial

I want a nice clean crimp. So I'm guessing that price and brand does make a difference? I have bought from many UGLs and some crimps look horrible and one of them you could spin the metal around on the vial. it didn't leak but i didn't like that it was loose like that. Anyway Im just gonna pull the trigger on one and hope its what I'm looking for.

Price and brand shouldn't make a huge difference. It's the user that will make a good crimp or not. Of you're rushing through and didn't west the stopper right or the crimper was on crooked you could make a bad crimp. I got mine off medlab supply and it works perfectly.

Kebly or nothing. Good crimps are procuct of knowing how to set the depth screw 20mm flip. Call and ask Eve to make sure u get the right ones.

Go on eBay
They have good crimpers.
Cheaper than a store.
I got all 3 of mine for 225 while back.
As some one posted get the right one!
If your going to use flip off caps or just the aluminum caps
They are different

 

[OdieM]

Seems I made the right choice. I am very pleased with how clean the crimp is. I'm not digging the 2 tone flip tops but that's a cheap fix.
