Has any one used a Twist-n-crimp.

Those Indian cent enders are not a good idea for eBay. One member here that has a rolling machine tried some boxes of wheat cents with some of those showing and got negative feedbacks.

Here is the next step up.

You guys really need to run a bolt through the twist-n-crimp and put it in your cordless drill. You need more speed than your hand and wrist can perform to get a good "machine" crimp. I use this on every roll that leaves my little production line, lol. If I could figure out how to post pictures I will take a few of what it looks like. I'm thinking about putting the bolted twist-n-crimp in a constantly running machine so that pulling the trigger on the cordless drill is even eliminated. This solution is much cheaper than the Klopp crimper with virtually the same look and versatility.

hook this up and you can power a motor with a foot switch to free up both hands. We have a few of these in our shop and they are the greatest!

Bought it for a dollar on the bay.

So what is it.

That's why I got it for a dollar.

It looks like a "slap together" crimper with all the different sized heads. I like the light switch that turns it on, lol. How much do you want for it?

[HoardCopperByTheTon]

Correct. Pretty good motor on it. Not for sale.. I need a backup to the 3 automatic rolling machines.

[m83striker]

Well, can't say I didn't try, lol. I really need one of those machines that you pour the pennies in and it "chucks" out rolls already crimped. I know you have at least one of those Hoard!!

[HoardCopperByTheTon]

I only have 3.. hardly a hoard.

This was an awesome piece of advice. The crimps with a hand drill are even better than the machined end of string shotgun rolls. A panhead bolt fits perfectly...pretty sure it was a 3/16".

I don't see an advantage with a constantly running motor, though...I tried it with the drill press and had to fish around for a bit to get it lined up right. The hand drill was faster, but I can see where having a foot switch and a mounted drill would be nice to let you move coins with both hands.

Thinking about giving this a try, now I'm thinking about mounting and old fan to the workbench, take the blades off it, and mount the twist n Crimp?

I use the Twist & Crimp, and have had good luck with it. I find that at the end of the twisting motion, if I twist backwards one time, it seems to even make a smoother crimp. Not sure why? But it is worth it for those who want to get nice looking rolls. As others have said the 'String' rolls are the best, though I haven't had too much problem with the thinner paper (takes a bit longer, but still works OK)
