[pianotech] becket crimping tool

[Euphonious Thumpe]

I have a  VERY big, long set of needelnose pliers ( about 18" from end of handle to tip ) that are easier to get in between the pins than Vise-grips
( which I used up to this point ) and definitely give you all the leverage you need for nice, tight beckets.
