crimpers
Zigzag styling tools
Crimpers are tools that create crimps—waves, ridges, or tight bends.
Hair crimpers produce zigzag waves in straight hair, popular in 1980s styling and periodically revived.
Electrical crimpers compress connectors onto wires without soldering.
The word also refers to people who crimp: in historical usage, those who shanghaied sailors by drugging or coercing them into service.
