I have short handled crimpers and this new one is longer by a couple inches - they're both the same "effort".... I think the reason for the longer one is if you did this all day long - they'd be easier because of the leverage... but the EASIST PART is the "added" holder block on this pair - cause it really frees up your squeeze hand to just doing that job period -- and the "view" with the crimper opened up - to see the wire laid in properly etc is what I'm so happy with... vs my "normal" pair. If you can get the shorter handle with the holder part - I don't think long vs short is any issue... they ratchet... and like Todd said == if you can't crimp something then you'd better hit the gym! Or start on some carrot juice!

Todd has Kelli do all his heavy lifting....
