[C320-list] Lifeline replacement

Chip,
If these are the same tool that I contributed to tha Association, they are robust and will crimp the Johnson fittings securely.

Thanks,

Dear Shipmates:

I am planning to use the C320 International Association's lifeline crimping
tool to replace my lifelines.  Has anyone done this recently?  I am
thinking of using 1x19 stainless steel wire at 3/16" diameter (without the
plastic coating).  Does anyone know if the tool, which I haven't picked up
yet, will crimp pelican hooks onto this diameter of wire?  I am planning to
get the wire and hardware from Defender.  Any advice would be appreciated.

Best,
Chip Martin
