crimping anderson

Ive got a manual crimper , looks like its a hex crush . im a bit confused .
ie making an adapter up with a Anderson 175amp to 50amp . using 16mm2 cable .

now do i set the crimper at 16 for both size connectors . as one is massive compared to the smaller 50amp .

i know the internal diameter is the same but the outside is vastly different .
im guessing set at 16 for both , but it just feels weird . can anyone please confirm .

If your using 16mm2 cable and connectors, then the crimping tool should also be set at 16mm2.

Thanks , i did think so . but its still strange as one is much larger than the other even though both are for 16mm2 cable .
